I think that part of the problem is that Joe Blow webmaster shouldn't have to come up with a pile of cash to go to these things.
I'm guessing that it's about $1000 minimum to go per person with the badge, hotel & airfare. Then throw in the cost of the food & drink at the hotel (which is fucking ridiculous) & you're probably looking at $2500 for 2 people for the 4 days.
I'd rather take the $2500 I was gonna spend & throw a big party at my house for those that didn't want to cough up that much money for the show.
