Con of Thrones, the largest-ever convention for fans of Game of Thrones, A Song of Ice and Fire, and the assorted worlds and works of George R. R. Martin, will run from June 30 to July 2 2017. It will be held at the historic Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center in Nashville, Tennessee. The event will feature panels, interviews, discussions and more, and promises to boast a spectacular lineup of guests, including some of the stars of the series.
The first of these guests have recently been announced. Heading the bill so far is none other than Iwan Rheon (Ramsay Bolton), who will be joining the convention from Friday to Saturday. Aside from his intense work as Ramsay over three seasons of the show, Rheon’s other work include his portrayal of Simon Bellamy in the E4 series Misfits and Ash Weston in the ITV sitcom Vicious. The Welsh actor is also a talented musician; his debut album, Dinard, was released in 2015.
Also confirmed to be in attendance is Kerry Ingram (Shireen Baratheon). When she’s not being burned alive at the stake, Ingram can also be found showcasing her musical gifts. Prior to her work on Thrones, she received an Olivier award for Best Actress in a Musical, following a well-received performance as Matilda Wormwood in Matilda the Musical. Ingram will attend the event from Friday to Sunday. Additional special guests will be announced at a later date.
Tickets to the event start at $59 for a day pass and $149 for a weekend pass. Both passes include the following perks:
- Access to the marketplace
- Access to autograph/photo purchase
- Access to nighttime special events
- Access to programming for the day you are registered
Weekend pass holders will receive all of the same benefits of a day pass holder, along with further benefits.
- Registration ‘loot bag’
- Access to the opening and closing ceremonies
- Guaranteed seating in the great hall.
Unfortunately, the exclusive ‘Valyrian Pass’, which offers additional perks, including a small council Q&A with special guests, has now sold out.
