(...) You do realise that you actually have to pay for convention space don't you? Or did you think it was going to be held in someones backyard? Tim (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)

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.

(...) 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)

(...) 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)

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)
