Laurenx Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 (edited) So far I have spent: 3 entry tickets (yes - I had to pay for my brothers' tickets and I'll never be paid back! lol) - £30 3 photoshoot tickets - £40 It'll cost about £10-£15 travel wise, plus I want three autographs so that'll be £50. And I always spend money at the dealer's stalls, usually between £20 and £40. So, overall around £170 ish. It's very expensive for someone living off of a student loan and a rubbish job behind a bar But it's worth it!

Pff it's good I skip Sinterklaas this year! how can you skip Sinterklaas :D I know the suitcase problem, that on of the reasons I take the boat they let you take 2 big bags so far more room for merch and it saves a day off for me because I take the nightboat. if you want to talk dutch at the con, I'm the guy with blond dreadlocks, glasses, 2 noserings and a buffy shirt named Sven :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suggest wearing a carnation, or carrying a copy of The Times you got a point there.. although a carnation is a bit too much and walking with a newspaper under my arm could be a bit crappy when I want to do something else then smoking.. but still it's something to think about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
