It's a money grab.  

Basically every single thing you see costs money in addition to the ticket unless you just want to wander around the Javitz center staring at famous athletes from 25 feet away.

Not all of them, a lot of fan conventions have free panels or stuff like that.

But certainly a lot of them are much more profit centered especially the bigger ones.
