btvsfan Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 I spend £79 including buying a drink - although £40 of that was a birthday present :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loxias Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Including my comic silver pass around £400 - one Stan Lee photo shoot, a load of autographs and an Adi Granov sketchbook. I bought no merchandise because I couldn't bear the crush to get to the stands. Once I got my autos each day I was out of there - didn't stay later than 2pm over the weekend because it was so awful (for me anyway, I didn't feel comfortable or safe with the volume of people).

Hapfairy Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Think I might be one of the lowest spenders, lol.I got a £25 autograph and a £20 photoshoot. Came home with £20 left! Ran out of time to do anything else and was too overwhelmed to buy stuff from the stalls, though they looked awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siva Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 I honestly have no idea but I would guess 350-450 and that's including food, tube tickets, hotel and train. Probably went a bit crazy but hey that's why I go to work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CazR Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 I saved up £300 for the weekend & had bought about 8 photo sessions in advance, i came home sunday with about £5 in change lol. I initially wanted to get autographs from everyone i had photo's with but i ended up not getting about 3 of those autographs & instead spending the money on meeting Dina Meyer & Lena Headey a second time plus 2 guests i hadn't really planned on meeting. Also bought a few more photo shoot tickets while there. I must have spent nearly £500 in total, that's also the most i've ever spent at a con.

Total - £919 Approx. Edited July 15, 2014 by GoldenGreen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkstarbuck Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 I took out £400 and have just shy of £50 left, getting 5 autos (Casper, Dina, Carrie, George & TJ) and a double Photoshoot for Dave Prowse. I Didn't really buy anything on the stalls like I usually do as the ones I like the most (retro gaming, graphic novels and American sweets) were absolutely swamped all weekend! I did not intend on spending as much as I did but I'm happy that I did. I probably spent around £20 alone on caffeine and water from the little caravan cafe outside the venue, they were very reasonable and a lot happier and polite compared to the venue catering inside. The queues were shorter too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon_etheridge Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 The budget was £400 I normally spend £500 I spent on autos and photos about £480 but had bought a few pre paid including Jenna's and stans photo sessions months ago so they come from different budget plus my Thor hammer was a birthday day present so came out of my birthday money.

Dannycarroll2007 Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 (edited) If you add hotels and parking I didn't get much change out of 800 quid and then you can add on 150 at the Stamford Bridge megastore. But I did come out with money because I didn't bother shopping like I normally do. Edited July 15, 2014 by Dannycarroll2007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cube1701 Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 Ticket, £55 for photo shoots (Summer and Jenna) and £25 for the train from Manchester, If the "guaranteed photo and autograph" packages are fairly priced (same as cost of photo+autograph, perhaps stretching to slightly more), I can see myself spending more money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
