I could go for the price of the badge since I live by it and can drive home each day. This still means that I get to spend $20 each time I'm hungry for something, at least for us vegetarians, that isn't even very good.
Really for me cost is not an issue since I would only be bringing myself and don't even have to stay there or travel.
I'm not going because what's the point of going, they fucked it up and now most of the people that I do business with aren't going.
I've been to most of the shows, I just go to them to network and see old friends. I could care less about half naked porn talent and drunken parties. As far as I can tell they have turned the hotel into one big party convention instead of a convention with some parties.
Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm not interested enough to go.
