Saw this on Alyssa's twitter:
Alyssa's prices are massive. I think she's charging more than Shannen, Rose or Holly ever did at any of their cons this year. They charge 50 and 60. But then again, have to taken in account each country has different money conversions so the pricing will likely be different.
My take, $120 is way too much for an autograph.
However later after checking the site, there are other stars where the prices are much lower. So it really must be what Alyssa is worth.

OH MY! That is quite pricey. But if as pointed out, other stars have lower prices. I guess Alyssa is worth that much.
Good luck to anyone living in those locations who get to see Alyssa.

Alyssa charges an arm and a leg for this. I'm shocked. Way too much if I'm being honest.

It is Sydney though. Everything is ridic expensive there. And I guess folk are willing to pay more because its very rare that she'd be down under.

Those prices don't surprise me. I've seen cons that charge even more than that. It's just what Alyssa is worth. As @
lunchking pointed reading their response above, other stars coming to this event are charging less than what Alyssa is charging.
Another thing to consider is exchange rate. Might be what it is in Australian dollars. I know in Canada here our dollars is nearly in line with theirs. It'll be about 80 bucks US dollars roughly.

That could also play a part in it.

I checked with a conversion calculator and (today at least) the AUS dollar is worth 1.48 of the american dollar. So the 120$ AUS price equals out to be just above 80$ USA.
I think this is a fair price especially since she is the only one appearing from Charmed. Perhaps Holly/Rose/Shannen charged a bit less so people would be able to get each of their photos.

I live in Sydney where this event was held, however, I didn't attend the event dears. My granddaughter does adore Phoebe very much, but like my daughter, we agreed it wasn't worth coughing up a few hundred dollars for just her.
But I hope anybody who did attend had so much fun.
I know Shannen, Holly, and Brian were last here in Sydney back in 2016 or 2017 right before Shannen started her cancer treatment, but I wasn't a member yet and missed out on the news. I know my daughter who is a big Piper/Leo fan would've wanted to go for Holly and Brian.

I live on the Central Coast, it'll be ridiculously expensive for me to travel down and get a signature from Alyssa, even though I would love autographs from all the cast. I also hope that those who were in attendance enjoyed themselves. |

That's the trouble with conventions depending on who you see or where you go they can charge whatever for people to have their photos taken with them before signing afterwards if anyone's paid for that also which in the current cost of living crisis not everyone can afford.
Back in the '80s and early '90s that was different because no one had to pay for either of those then of course.

All you had to pay was a fee to get into the convention itself and that's it. Times have changed.
I know the Charmed cast is believed to be coming to New Zealand towards the end of the year. But it'll depend on money for me. I already have my family coming to visit me here from back home near the end of the year. Obviously it clashes, No way I'll put Charmed above my family.

At another forum, a member there who lives in Sydney themselves managed to go to the convention but didn't have a photo with Alyssa because it was too expensive of course. They did get a duo one with Tyler and Bitsie from Superman And Lois which was 40 dollars cheaper. The person did sit in on Alyssa's panel though and commented she was nice talking about her time on Charmed and the lasting legacy of the show. One question at the end Alyssa was asked was what is the most shocking thing she'd ever seen a fan do. Alyssa replied, "One man named Troy had both legs entirely tattoed with the faces of the majority of the Charmed Cast showing his love and dedication for the programme overall." A photo I found on Facebook of Alyssa at the Convention.  |

I'd never get any tattoos of stars but more power to them if it makes them happy. Sounds like Alyssa has a higher fee than others. Maybe her agent/management team set that price. |

That is what someone at another forum thought as well.
Alyssa or any actors/actresses have no say in what prices or charges for pictures with fans at conventions are touted which is out of their control.
