I believe Stu and I were bouncing back and forth a figure of $45 at the door, $30 being the earliest preregistration discount, and also having other various discounts ($5 off with student ID, hand out $5 off coupons at As for per-day, how about $25 for saturday, and $20 each for friday and sunday? (With day admission good towards upgrading to the whole weekend, so if you buy a friday and saturday badge, you get sunday free). As for dealer's tables, it has to be low enough the Fen can participate, but high enough that geek side participants don't think we're not serious. Pulling numbers out of a hat, how about $50 per table, and each table comes with one free registration? > If our target cost is about 6,000 (maximum), and we're hoping for 500 > people, we'd need a minimum of $12 per person to break even.
