Let Me Tell You Something About My Fandom: The Highs and Lows of BravoCon 2022 | XP Land
Date published: 10/21/2022
Bravo super fans are as thick as thieves and will protect each other until the end… of the weekend. Last week, more than 30,000 people attended BravoCon — the network’s second annual fan experience — at the Javits Center in New York City. That’s more than triple 2019’s numbers.
For three days, attendees (literally) ran to join panels featuring their favorite “Bravo-lebrities,” explored immersive activations and waited in hours-long lines for photo opps. The schedule also included five live tapings of Andy Cohen’s Watch What Happens Live talk show at Manhattan Center’s Hammerstein Ballroom. For a general admission single-day pass, fans shelled out $170, plus taxes and fees; three-day “SVIP” passes went for $1,950 and included premium seating at panels, fast-lane priority for the many lines and access to lounges where Bravo-lebs hung out between appearances. Admission to WWHL tapings was not included.
