[Joaquin546 6]

Hi everypony listen im a brony almost 19 and i was wondering how much going to bronycon set you back im not just talking about entrance fees but airplane ticket(s), hotels, meals, and how you got back and forth from the convention center i live in New Mexico and would have to take the El Paso airport so could you please tell thanks *brohoof*

For me, it costed around the following:

 

Sponsor Pass - $125

Airplane Ticket, roundtrip, from BWI (Connecticut) - $216

Hotel, 4 Nights - $860

Money spent on Merch/Food/others - ~$900

 

All together, it costed me around $2,101.

Could've spent even more, but I held back on all the merch since I needed to have ways of bringing it home...next year though, I am bringing another suitcase.

Let's see. I spent:

-$75 for three day pass

$180 total for gas both ways

-$125 for hotel (I split the difference with 4 other people, otherwise it would have been around $800)

-approx. $1000 for random merch in the vendor hall

$675 on a pocket watch I got at the charity auction.

 

Total: Approx. $2055.00

 

I saved about $3000.00 for Bronycon so I was still well within budget.  I think next time I may go for a sponsor pass.

There were/are multiple tiers to the sponsor tickets.

 

The most basic (being the one I bought) comes with the 3-day pass, BronyCon 2013 Shirt, and a separate registration line (a long with some other sponsor lines). And trust me, ask anyone else who went and had to wait in the registration line (though some people were smart and there early), a 20 minute wait for my pre-reg was nothing compared to some others.

 

The other tiers and costs were the following:

Silver - $250

Gold - $500

Platinum - $1,000

and Diamond $2,000 (Some of the things included in this level was a hotel room paid by the con, OC drawn on a poster along with other Platinum and Diamond sponsors, your name being mentioned in the BronyCon brochure and opening ceremonies, plus everything else that was in the lower tiered tickets).

 

I would tell you everything, however, when they sold out of the tickets during online registration, they took 'em off entirely so only the sponsor ticket was available.

Averagely, it costs about 2,000 dollars in total.

 

It's a lot to come by, and that's not covering the way back and other expenses such as food and merchandise.

Judging from the posts above, A trip to BronyCon and back would have cost around $2000! Wow! That's expensive!
