i keep hearing most of u guys have met up at botcon, n this makes me lil gutted that i havent been to one yet so just wondering how much it cost to visit botcon for us uk collectors/fans?
I used http://www.xe.com/ucc/ to find the answer $1000 CAD=about $468 Pounds So if you use that number,you get an idea of how much a UK fan has to pay to fly out to BotCon. It's the exchange rate,one of life's UNcontrollables
Here is what I am paying. Conversion from XE.com. Club membership - $89 (£50) Preregistration - $265 (£148) Flights - £476.60 Accommodation - $40/night (x3) = $120 (£67) Total (before food, drink, and dealer room): £741.60, or $1,322.51.
Dravens pretty much on the money, and thats without even adding on foods and dealer room splurges. FEAR THE POUND!
DAMN. I had no idea it was costing you guys nearly $900 just for the flight over, not counting other expenses. I have newfound respect for the dedication of peeps like Draven and Twin Twist for making the trek.
*ahem* Twin Twist is not making the trek. He made the trek last year, and unless you own a Delorean you will not be seeing him this year, because even with the delorean technically it would still be last year... oh dear I have gone crosseyed. Besides, it's not dedication, it's down right idiocy!
well hopefully if i can pull the money together i will get to go next year....for my only hoilday but it be a tf hoilday
Hey Well this is my um . . . 9th? American convention, not the cheapest but not the most expensive! Being a dealer my cost's are much higher, shipping & taxes etc Im guessing this trip will be around £3000, just shy of $5000 Paul
