CosmicAvatar Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Not counting travel, well over £100. But worth it. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepurplehoodedwarrior Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 About £100 on autos for me because of cancellations and £65 for the missus' so one of the more expensive ones for me but may be the last for a while as I have a youngling on the way next year. I will be bringing my own food and drink this year and reccomend everyone else does too as it costs a bomb at these events and it's nothing to do with showmasters as they have nothing to do with the on site catering etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorchwoodDoctor Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Early Bird- £10 Torchwood Talk- £15 (I think?) John Barrowman Photo- £20 Kai Owen photo- £10 JB auto x2- £40 KO auto- £10 GDL auto- £15 So that puts me at... £120, plus I plan on taking around £100 for merchandise and stuff, as it's a perfect time and place for me to get some xmas presents!

Moderators etmuse Posted November 27, 2009 Moderators Share Posted November 27, 2009 Too much. I think this can be said for at least half of us. I added mine up yesterday at my final total and... eep. Even saving £60 with Derek Jacobi having to cancel is still a lot of money... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunny-summers Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 £30 on Rene, thats it. Been to too many of these things before (started going since C4) so i've met most of these people. Looking forward to C16 next year though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keithporter23 Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 in 2009 alone ive spent around one thousand on showmasters events. I know where you're coming from indio - I daren't add up the total costs per year (including hotels and travel). I haven't had a holiday abroad for about 5 years as I prefer going to ShowMasters events as often as I can!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators etmuse Posted December 2, 2009 Moderators Share Posted December 2, 2009 I just don't want to think about it over 2009, and I only did 2 weekend cons and CM: London. 2010 could be so much worse, considering I'll probably do a couple more Collectormanias, and 2 weekend cons at a minimum... And my dad wants us to do a skiing holiday in March - I may need a 2nd job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
