Accio 2008 - hang on a minute

[tahariel]

So registration opened for Accio 2008, but... holy shit! It looks like it's going to cost £150 just to attend! I mean, seriously, WTF?!?!

So I've emailed them to ask. I suggest you do too, if you're planning on attending, so we can find out for sure. Because I can have a cheaper convention in my house with a dvd boxset and some fizzy pop, thanks.

Well fuck me. If I wanted to go that's going to be super expensive.

Three hundred pounds just for registration and accommodation?

I know! I sat and clicked the 'register' button, expecting to see a blank page again, but then found it was open and went 'omgyay!'... until I scrolled down.

Screw that, frankly.

Just got email back - it's definitely £150 to attend. No. Freaking. Way. Am I paying that.

[magic-at-mungos.livejournal.com]

I can't afford that at the moment neither!

I just refuse to pay that much money! Especially when I don't even need accommodation. I mean, Jesus Christ. Fifty quid, yeah. Three times that? No.

How peculiar. I don't even understand their system. I mean, what exactly is included in the 150 quid? Accomodation? If it isn't, 150 quid is a freaking lot of money for registration. Let me think twice about going ...

I'm sitting here reading this to marginalia and we're all "Let's go to tahariel's house! We'll bring chips and chocolate!"

Okay! We'll have a mini-con in my living room XD

sweet!

How much? Well, I guess that's a no, then. Are they on crack?

According to an email I got, Magdalen are charging them a lot of money. Which made me go 'then why did you book there, instead of going elsewhere? Clearly other cons manage it!'
