Akira14 Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 I'm just glad that I'm not the only one making the effort to be glamorous! I'm planning to use a dress I bought for a wedding... So no, you won't be the only one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bregi Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Flight 90£ (From Switzerland) Train all together ~100£ Hotel 112£ And yesterday I was at the bank and changed 800 SFr.- to Pound which gave me 370£. (Don't know how much i'm gonna use of that) So, yes it is expensive for me as a student :) But I hope it will be worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenatalia Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 About £500 for two of us, and including my clothing costs. But I haven't accounted for transport between MK and Northampton, nor have I taken into account food and spending money. My bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bonniesrg Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 (edited) Please. The first rule about conventions is that you never talk about how much money you spend at them. Or else you'd cry. A lot. Have you been watching Fight Club. Probably over £400 for me, but the room, programme and travel tickets are for 2 people. So not too bad. Also bringing spending money, which I may spend all of.lol Edited March 6, 2008 by bonniesrg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandoras Box Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 (edited) I made my calculation in Euros Ticket: 100€ Plane (return): 100€ Hotel: 70€ Bus from/to Stansted: 24€ Train (return): 32€ Photoshoots (2): 45€ Total: 371€ no foodmoney included. But as its my birthday soon my parents said they gonna give me some "pocketmoney" for the trip and 371€ are not too bad.

Emma_Adams Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 there is a bus from MK center to northampton that only costs 3.50 single *number 89*, but it takes an hour and 35 minutes, and there is one that takes 40 minutes, but all i know for that one is 8 pounds return *not sure on single* also, depends where you are arriving in MK, as the taxi from coachways is about 10 pounds, but the bus from coachways to the center *number 200* should cost no more than 1.50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lindseyk Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 I'm paying around $2000 dollars, so I don't know what that translates to, but it's ALOT. Totally worth it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morden Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 I used to spend, on average, about £900 on cons. The most a con has cost me is about £1400. Can't afford that sort of spending at the moment though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GamingGreatness Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 I am probably coming from further than anyone else - Aberdeen (a hellhole in the north of scotland). Flights - £120 Accomodation - £40 Tickets - £78 Photos - £85 Total - £323 Note that does not include the fact that I am buying all the eclipse products and will need to eat - or I will die! Probably no less than 400! Pretty bad for an unemployed 17 year old still sitting his A-Levels who also has to pay for all his own school meals and driving lessons.
