6. One of the main things is not to be afraid to charge enough for
registration to cover the costs of the event. Going to a real BrickFest
Convention is a big deal. It really blows my mind that people actually
complain about the cost of the registration. Somehow they come up with
enough money to spend hundreds at the LEGO Store, and yet complain about
$20/day for the registration. Gimme a break. The cost of the registration is
less than most large LEGO kits.

I guess I’m one of those people - not that I complained, I just didn’t go
because I couldn’t afford it. The last BF I went to (in ‘04), I probably
spent around $125 total for registration, t-shirts, and bricks, and I doubt
I’ve ever spent more than $200 at a BF. So I’m not complaining just to
complain, the cost is actually a dealbreaker for me. I was hoping to
volunteer at this year’s event and attend at a free or reduced rate, but I
was told that volunteers had to pay full price for registration.

One of the reasons a lot of people I know have complained is because the price
is higher than a lot of other events, such as science fiction conventions and
anime conventions, and they’ve felt it just isn’t worth the same, especially
considering the public days. Also, not everyone spends additional money at BF.
I haven’t in a number of years; the only reason I was at the store this year was
because I went to dinner at Tyson’s beforehand.
