Having read a lot of the threads complaining about the $50 registration cost for Brickvention 2006, I thought it was actually very cheap for a two day convention even if things haven't been finalized yet and I have sent off my registration. As for (...) (19 years ago, 9-Mar-06, to lugnet.loc.au)

Hi All, I too am a little concerned over travel costs to Melbourne. Flights between Perth and Melbourne aren't cheap and I still have to work out how to get my LEGO models over safely and cheaply (courier, post?). Add accomadation costs and it's (...) (19 years ago, 9-Mar-06, to lugnet.loc.au)

(...) Unfortuantly the venue prices in both Melbourne and Sydney are pretty expensive, and due to the fact the venue needs to be close to transport and accomadation, this only increases the price. The Melbourne uni site is a good $1000 dollars (...) (19 years ago, 8-Mar-06, to lugnet.loc.au, FTX)

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)

(...) 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)
