Lurgan Slasher Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 im close to £2000 all in with travel, hotel, photos, and a list of autos to get, but it will be well worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timlux Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 (edited) I`m a curious guy, I'd really like to know how much money raymond spent, who says on another place here that he has 60 photoshoots. XD I'm now near 1000 € ( 722 £ ) with plane, hotel, Goldpass and my photo shoots. Certainly I will pay also for a few autographs, but I think the budget should not climb that much any more.

There is a chance that will go up dependent on who gets announced over the next four weeks! I am lucky that I don't have to worry about flights, trains, or hotels!  Im not planning on spending loads over the weekend. I am going to another con in the States later this year so need to save a fair amount to cover that, so probably no more than a couple of hundred quid...

twiga Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 I've spent £220 on photos and talks so far.  And I have £220 worth of autographs to buy. Potentially more if I can silence that little nagging voice in my head!  And then there's the spending money.   This is by far the most expensive convention I've ever been to. I'm going to stop thinking about it now and just hum really loudly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katjafin Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 I really don't even want to know. Before Sigourney Weaver's diamond pass showed up with €570 on my credit card bill I was blissfully ignorant about my situation. I have bought the photoshoots and talk tickets and other diamond passes here and there along the way since March so I thought I was fine. I am not fine...I'm not going to eat in a year or so. Lol.  But hey, we only live once, right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheHorrorFreak Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 This is my first time attending so I've decided to go all out. I was finally in a position where I was fortunate enough to be able to afford it. So far I think I've spent around £1100 on my gold pass, Robert Englund diamond pass, 14 photoshoots, travel and accommodation. It was all worth it though. I'm going to have a great time. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wondermoose Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 £660 on photoshoots so far and a Gold Pass. Then I think it will be around £700-800 on autos after that.  And I would agree with Golden Green its somewhere between and 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marty2015 Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 I've had to be slightly restrained, because I've bought and renovated a house in the past 12 months, which has left me a bit short of cash.  This con is all about BTTF for me. Diamond pass for MJ Fox. Delorean shoot Autos from every BTTF cast member on my poster  +travel and hotel.  Can't wait! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyfilm_1 Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 I've actually received quite a bit of money back from all the cancellations lately! So budget looking good! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldenGreen Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Maybe this thread maybe should have been, how much over our budgets have we spent !  My challenge is more about how much I can afford to spend now on autos. The Diamond guests really eat up your budget fast if you are paying out for individual autos. I would love to get two from Sigourney, one from Alien and one from Ghostbusters, but that's the best part of £200 and that's only the tip of the iceberg !  I'm fortunate that I've got autos before from a number of the big name guests, Michael Gambon, Jonathan Pryce, Neve Campbell for example when they were in Theatre, but that still leaves some pretty hefty ones in Bill Paxton, Richard Dean Anderson and Christopher Lloyd for example.  I was hoping to work initially with a budget of £200 for autos, but really struggling at £255 already and still loads more I would like to get. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kymley Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 I've just spent another £60 on 2 photo shoots and 2 talks but I'm justifying it because I got a refund from Natalia Tena, Noah Wyle and Monica Keena :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toria Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 I usually have a pretty small list compared to most people....  And the same for this year... (i also moved to my first flat last month so I am being careful with my moolah!)  2x entry Saturday  2x GoT thrones talk 2x RDA talk  1x RDA photoshoot.  I wanted a Charles Dance photo but i waited too long alas so I might get his auto!  So with travel I am about £150! Getting excited now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannycarroll2007 Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 The least that I've spent at a Con in ages. Last year was 4 figures at summer alone and this year I've spent half as much as last year. Definitely not complaining Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
