Celebration IV
So my goal is to go to Celebration IV. I've never been to one, and from what I've heard...this is the one to go to. So here's my problem. How much is this gonna cost me? I know there's flight, hotel, car rental (could probably get away with taxis), food, spending money, plus what it's gonna cost to get all my costumes together. So I guess all I'm asking is for a little advise on how much to save up and when to start booking all this stuff.

(could probably get away with taxis)

Unless you stay next to the convention center, you are going to need a car. Sorry, California is behind on public transportation.

Expect to spend about $150.00 a night for a hotel room. Another problem with California...Expensive lodging. I would try to book as soon as possible. However, hotel rooms might be offered through SW.com.

You can go cheap with food by eating at fast food joints.

Passes into the convention should probably run about $120 to $150 for all 4 days. They may offer day passes too.

Because I plan on going, I'm saving up all my paychecks until the event starting now (which means little to no comic book and novel buying for awhile *sniff*). Apart from getting my costume together, I expect to spend lots of dough on this incredible event. Apart from spending money on merch and my 4 day pass, I expect the hotel to cost the most. But I am going with someone so we'll probably split the cost.

Well, I was on the West coast for I, II, and III, and now I'm on the east for IV. I've never gotten to go to one! Frustrating. Agreed, but don't forget about Gas! Those are over 3$, even in a small state like IN they are almost over 3$, and have been.
