Why though? You can see every single person who will be there, at there own panels, which will give each person even more individual time to speak and be interviewed.

I fail to see an advantage of having the whole group together.
Panels are typically boring. It's the stars talking about things off on different tangents, it's fans asking nerdy/embarrassing questions ("can you say that line from that movie that you said once?"), etc.

When you get the group together, they have more of a conversation with each other and it's funny, spontaneous, reveals things people never knew etc. I sort of explained it earlier in this thread talking to MMF.

That said, I didn't buy any tickets so I guess I won't be seeing anything except on youtube. My 10-year old self is crying somewhere but I'm like "meh" surprisingly. I'm actually surprised at the briskness of sales. Perhaps they should consider moving the venue to the Saddledome.
