Unfortunately, no.

Actually, it might not be such a bad thing, because in some cases we can
trick them into subsidizing events where we can play real games.  At the
last convention I went to, there were hordes of Magic players stuffed
into a small room, and the board gamers had a nice, big room.  Hopefully
in the future they'll double the price for the Magic players, and make
it free for us.  I figure the former won't notice, since paying a
hundred bucks each for pieces of cardboard has probably fried their
brains.

Look at it the other way: if you can get them to subsidize you, you
might as well get something out of it.
