The PBR contract may be a little different, though not as much as you may think if you read between the lines. Different wording, but the same basic result. They are restricting commercial use of any images that you take. They are not alone in doing this. I just posted it as an example of how restrictive some events can be. Manifest is lenient by comparison. So a short and simple answer to the original question as to whether it is legal for them to restrict commercial use of images taken at the convention... absolutely it is. The bottom line is that events holders such as PBR and Manifest are entitled to establish the rules of access to their events.
