How much did CE cost for you personally?

Haven't seen this thread yet, just curious is all, it probably cost me less than many people as I live really near (Reading) and get a discount for Travel Inn as I work for Whitbread, I would like to see how much it cost for people who had to come far.

Anyway:
Hotel for 2 nights £83
Food £40
Train and Tube Fare there and back £33
3 Day pass £55
Mark Hamill Autograph £88
Other Autographs £89
Belt from Correlian Imports £100
Other Merchandise (mainly comics) £90

Total £578

 

Hmm let's see:

Train Hengelo (NL) - London v.v.: £99
Hotel for 3 nights: £99
CE-Tickets: £21.75
Tube: £5.10
Food: £10
Adam Hughes Slave Leia print: £78

Total: £312.85

 

Four nights at Travelodge: £196.00
3 day pass: £55.00
Day Travelcards: £24.90
CE Bag: £10.00
Food: £20.00 (don't eat much )
Drink: £20.00

Total: £325.90

 

I'm too scared to tally-up my spending output
Plus, CE cost me a lot of my strength and most of my voice with all the work I put in months before and during the show to get everything sorted

 

Travel costs: £30
FP stuff: £20
Tarkin figure: £5
Merch: £10
Food: £35

Total: £100

It's probably more though, I used a mix of cash and card and I can't remember exactly what I bought.

 

My grand total came to £409.

Ouch!

 

I lost count how much I spent, though I know I spent round about £200 just on hotel, CE pass and train

 

Oh, I forgot the £25.50 it cost me for the train on monday

 

Let's just say, if I had paid it all at once and without the money I got on Christmas/Birthday, I'd be broke now

 

I was broke before I went, and I'm even more broke now.

 

3 Nights at Crowne plaza - £475
Flights from Glasgow - £210
2 x 3 day passes - £106

etc, etc Probably about a grand all in!!

However for actually being there and for the experience it was priceless!

 

Like Jedi1 about a grand for:

4 Nights at Crowne Plaza,
1 x Train fare and 2 x zone 1-4 travel cards,
1 x 3 Day pass,
Food & drink over 4 days,
8 x Autographs, 1 fine Art Print,
Various Star Wars Purchases etc, etc.

I had been saving for sometime with the intention of going to CIV but it became beyond my budget when it moved from Indianapolis to LA so I was delighted when Celebration Europe was announced.

 

Um... yeah. I wasn't in Europe just for CE, since I was in Paris and then sightseeing around London beforehand, so this cost is not just for the convention itself, but the entire trip cost me in excess of US$2000. Airfare alone was about $1000. Needless to say, I wasn't buying anything in either the official store or the merchant area.

 

Two words

Too. Much.

 

If I don't think about it... then it doesn't count.

 

Train - £25
Hotel - £83
T-Shirts - £40
New FX Saber - £58
Food & (mainly) Drink - £300 !!!!!!

Celebration Europe - priceless

I'm rather curious what the other Americans in attendance spent, so we can commiserate if nothing else.

 

the hotel was for 4 nights - £300 for 4 nights 'entertainment' = £75 per night

lets just say had some interesting evenings some photo's that won't result in a ban are on here !!
not complaining too much as I don't tend to go in for autographs, so money well spent & lots of new friends made

 

you'll never believe it but it was the Ibis right next door to the Excel !!! had it booked for months, prefect spot..

 

Taxi £10
Ferry £30
Train £75
Hotel £289
Shirts/patches £25
Figures etc £30
Food £100
Drink £50
Cheddar £3
Tickets £112

( prices for 2 adults and 1 toddler )

 

That's it, I'm definitely booking the Ibis next time. Great location, too. How were the rooms?
