New price change permanent?

[Gus Landt]

Last month, the cover price of Dungeon magazine jumped from $6.99 to $8.99. I thought at the time this was a 'one issue' thing, as last month was the 'Super Sized 20th Anniversary issue'.
Today I picked up #139, and I see that the $8.99 price tag is still there. Is this a permanent increase? :-(

That's actually a mistake. It's supposed to be $7.99, which is the new regular US newsstand price. (The Canadian newsstand price hasn't changed, and neither has the subscription price.)

Our distributor is doing what they can to inform retailers of our error—hopefully, most of them will be charging $7.99 for the issue.

It's also worth noting that the barcode does not have the wrong price embedded in it, so if the stores have a "default" setting for Dungeon the issue will only cost you $7.99.

Sorry about the error.

My FLGS still types in the price by hand. :-(
