It doesn't matter who the con chair is at any given time, and they're often very nice. The simple fact is that Jennifer Pon (Infallible SPJA Chair) runs the show at all times and everyone (con chair included) knows this. That said, JenPon specifically chooses Vaders (or occasionally a Tarkin) as con chair who will carry out her every whim.

And the ticketing policy definitely ignores the locals with a callous indifference. Plus... a ONE HOUR Maaya Sakamoto concert? In the AFTERNOON? WTF.
