Hi everyone I can understand everyone's concern about the costs of attending Brickvention. $50 (plus travel costs etc) is a lot for an untried product. This is not a new issue - every type of convention has this issue every year :) In the Science (...) (19 years ago, 9-Mar-06, to lugnet.loc.au)

(...) I've done a few sums, and I reckon I can do the weekend for about $500, so you may want to shop around. If Kerry's figures are correct, it may even be cheaper. Even at $500, $50 for registration is a relatively minor expense. Even without (...) (19 years ago, 8-Mar-06, to lugnet.loc.au, FTX)

(...) My answer would be "As good as you want to make it!" ;) Please, if anyone has ideas for what would make this "good enough" for them to outweigh any travel etc costs, let us know! Currently planned are: Space display with moonbase; Train (...) (19 years ago, 8-Mar-06, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.events, FTX)

Just to inject some facts into the discussion, Virgin Blue have flights for that weekend: $105 between Sydney and Melbourne $139 between Brisbane and Melbourne $95 between Adelaide and Melbourne $85 between Hobart and Melbourne $215/$240 between (...)

(...) I agree that $50 is quite cheap. In fact, compared to the total it will cost to attend (the +travel and +accomodation), $50 is very reasonable indeed. Venues are expensive, and if you don't live in Melbourne, travel and accomodation will be (...) (19 years ago, 8-Mar-06, to lugnet.loc.au, lugnet.events, FTX)

--SNIP-- (...) It is advice I usually take... except at 2am when I probably need it most. I do apologise to Peter Edwards. He may have been rude but that is not really justification for me to be rude back. (...) It's a pity you can't make it down (...) (19 years ago, 8-Mar-06, to lugnet.loc.au, FTX)

Hi Peter, I agree my comment was rude and had it not been 2am for me when I wrote it I probably wouldn't have posted it but I will stand by the point because it was in response to something that was extremely rude. You have said much the same (...) (19 years ago, 8-Mar-06, to lugnet.loc.au, FTX)

(...) Tim I thought those comments were a wee bit harsh mate as I too thought the $50 rego was a little extreme. We (BLTG) had a disscussion this weekend while we were at a train show at Sandgate and we came up with the figures of about $1000 plus (...) (19 years ago, 8-Mar-06, to lugnet.loc.au, FTX)
