Sasquan, the 2015 Worldcon, has gained another 316 members since May 22.
Nearly 60% of the newcomers bought supporting memberships, however, for a change a substantial amount of the growth also was from people buying memberships to attend the con.
As of June 4, the con had a total of 9,316 members, including 3,800 attending and 5,140 supporting members.
A $40 supporting membership is the minimum requirement to become eligible as a voter in 2017 site selection or to vote on the winners of the Hugo Awards.
Sasquan has sold 3,375 supporting memberships since January 31.

Not quite pandemic proportions yet but the outbreak of Hugoitis has yet to be contained. 🙂
