I know it was answered in FAQ, but why $800?!
I thought everything there was cheap!

If by cheap you mean expensive, then yes.
I am bringing $1200-1500, which will include travel and lodging costs.

Well if you don't include travel & lodging (the 2 biggest variables in the equation), why can't you figure it out for yourself? 4 day ticket costs $95, the rest is up to you.
There is at least one other thread here that goes over this whole topic. Only you know what you want to do/buy.

Well, as my room'll be $600 for the four nights and the $200 for 2 4-day passes, and my total budget is $1500, that should leave me with about $700 for food and purchases. I must admit that I wonder if my budget isn't too small...

Hmmmmm.......I'm hoping $400 will be sufficient. I'd like to bring more but I may not have necc more. The $400 is after ALL neccesities costs are paid for, lodging, travel, tickets.

If you don't include travel and lodging costs, how much?
If you are not counting hotel costs, travel costs, and admission tickets ($35 per day or $95 for entire con) then you can spend as little or as much as you want. The only other necessity will be food. The cost of food in the convention center is quite high but there are lots of fast food places in the surrounding area. You could budget as little as $10 per day for food. Most people budgeting large sums of money are including travel, hotel, and lots of money to spend on merchandise from vendors and in the convention store. I don't remember exactly what things cost at C2 but think the program was $10, figure was $10, t-shirt $20 or $25, poster $10 or $12, and concert $12. Those were the only things I purchased while at C2. I paid all the expenses including food but gave my then 15 year old son about $40 per day to spend on stuff in the vendor area.
There is still time to save an adequate amount of spending money between now and April even if it means getting a part time job.

A word of warning….I believe the ATM machines in the convention center ran out of money at one point. I don't remember what people did, probably went out hunting down machines in the mall.

When traveling, always bring at least enough to get you back home again if you lose your tickets or something happens, to reasonably feed you during your time away, and any extra that might be needed for things you KNOW you're going to be wanting to get and/or transportation.

My room is pre paid (the only advantage to having crappy credit!! The Debit Visa!!) Of COurse it'll be ditto with Airfare. I'm buying my tranfer from home to Seattle this week (prepay and reserve- I can always change it when I actually get my flight) and putting aside the money for the Pet sitter. THEN I'll start saving blow money!
