Thread: Will you attend the Convention if it costs you $X?

But being a European, this is not even enough to cross the big pond, so even though I voted, I don't see what use my answer will be.

The question probably should have been changed to include only local costs and not travelling costs. That way, someone who would vote for say 150$ would indicate that if the event itself costs 150$, he would come, having looked at traveling costs beforehand.

I'm pretty much in the same boat as Kees and Bruno. I'd love to but just don't have the cash to spare.

You need to interpret the poll question in the following way... if the convention were being held somewhere that would cost me approximately $X for transportation, meals, lodging, and fees would I attend. The choices for X are 0-150, 150-300, etc. It doesn't matter where you live for the purposes of the poll since what I'm trying to model is (on average) what percentage of our members could afford to attend a convention if it cost them less than $150, between $150 and $300, etc.

So then I'd guess you either voted "I probably wouldn't attend no matter what it cost" or "$0-150". Nothing wrong either response. What's important is that YOU VOTED.

edit... if you didn't already vote, I've reopened the poll for another week.
