What did you budget for your trip, and what did you end up spending? I'm thinking of going next year, and would love to see how the costs break down for those who visited this year.

Tickets to the con = $105 Plane ticket for me = $270 Food = $110 Hotel = $170 (each split between 3 people) train tickets $5 a day and then $ to buy stuff

Another thing to factor in is autographs. I'll be honest, most of my money has been spent on meeting some of my favorite actors at the con. The cool thing is you never know who's going to be at a booth on any given day. I'm talking showroom, not the Pavillion area. My wife got to meet James Marsters at a place that sells Sci Fi lithographs. I got to meet George Lazenby at a comic vendors booth. I've spent as much as Shellhead in the past. This year though I was kind of put on a budget because we decided to turn the vacation into a road trip instead of flying. So it all depends on you, but I found it helpful to have forums like this to gauge how much everything was going to cost before we left. That way I could get an idea what I was going to spend and who's booth I was going to hit. One of the great things about Preview Night, gives you an opportunity to get a lay of the land. Although most of the big guns are pretty much at the same place every year.
