CrystalCon Announcements
We'd like to announce that CrystalCon has recently launched the indiegogo-campaign/ticket pre-order (http://www.indiegogo.com/crystalcon). Everypony who pre-orders their tickets, and takes advantage of this one chance for some pre-order swag, will help ensure that Scandinavia's first brony convention becomes reality.
Furthermore, CrystalCon has joined ranks with BronyDays, BUCK, Crystal Fair and Galacon in the European Pony Concention Union (EPCU, http://www.eurobronies.org/) and are looking forward to starting off the european convention season. We know there are some hardcore bronys who are planning to go to all five conventions, and we hope to give them a good start.
Sincerely,
Aleks

But we need your help to do it.
Due to the large costs involved in creating a convention of this size, we need to work together to make it a reality. That’s why we decided to start this crowdfunding campaign. If we meet our goal we can be sure to be able to deliver a great, high-quality con experience.
If we don’t meet our goal, you are fully refunded and you don’t have to worry about it.
CrystalCon is entirely non-profit, and driven by volunteer work only. The organisation behind it is a registered non-profit organisation in accordance with Swedish law and regulations.
