CosmicAvatar Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Yep, my costs usually end up over £700 for LFCC these days and I don't even stay at a hotel! It's mostly photos and autos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirtchy Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 (edited) I'm up to about £800 too including hotel food and train, plus got photo shoots and autos! last year I spent £500 this year i'm spending more and seeing less guests as the guests I want cost more plus I want more than one auto from them! Gold Pass £175 Jason Momoa x3 autographs (2x 8x10 + GoT poster) - £60 Michael Shanks x2 autographs (2 8x10) + Photo Shoot £60 Amanda Tapping x2 autographs (2 8x10) + Photo shoot £75 Amanda Tapping and Michael Shanks joint photo shoot £50 Louise Jameson autograph £10 Colin Baker autograph £15 Jane How autograph £10 Kenny Baker autograph x5 autograph (11x14 officialpix photos) £75 + photo shoot £15 Total £545 give or take, it's too early in the morning and i'm only on the first coffee The train costs me no more than £20 to get into london, the hotel will be about £250 again! Plus the 6 months worth of announcements to come Edited January 17, 2013 by SquirtchyErchie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenGreen Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 It always amazes me how much people spend at these events. I'm fortunate that I live near to London, so travel is relatively cheap to get there and no hotel required, although I do only tend to go up for one day. I do now also tend to take my older son with me, so have to pay for him as well, so roughly will be about: Travel - £25 Entrance - £24 (Think that is about right for two early bird tickets) Photoshoots Avery Brooks (x2) - £50 Linda Hamilton (x1) - £20 Autographs Budget of about £200 Stalls Budget of about £100 And we take our own packed lunch ! So all in all £419 approx. Mind you, compared to what I have spent at some shows in the past, this will be on the low side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonathan Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I spent well over a grand at each of LFCC and EMS last year and will probably end up doing similar this year. It just spirals out of control for me......lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smm1 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I usually spend £500-£1000 on guests for autos and photoshoots without travel etc but this year not so many different guests to get this year just more to spend on the few guests I am interested in such as Maryse - MANOFHONOUR.

Abigail94 Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 mine is nothing like that as normally park at hammersmith then walk (well mum does) then I usually end up only spending bout £100 including my entry ticket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilbatduck Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I live in London and have a work travelcard so my travel is free, and as a stallholder I get free entry. Then I usually get 4 or 5 photoshoots, maybe an autograph from someone really special and spend my stall profit on toys and bits from other stalls! It works for me :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamsphere3 Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 well, i only have added up photoshoots and entry tickets. in euro it will cost so far 300. don't care though, i deserve it! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabreyeager Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I crew, so LFCC, is about £15 commuting costs, and I limit myself (generally) to the amount my crew vouchers allow me, plus £25 each for knitted meerkats..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
