2008 price of tickets

From WordCamp UK wiki

Trying to start discussion on how much folks are willing to pay, as this will affect where we can hold the meet up and what facilities/food/drink/goodies.

Please contribute your thoughts, it is important the team organising the event get a good idea for the budget.

I'm happy to pay £50 for weekend but obviously happy to pay less :-) [GeoffJones]

Wouldn't a discussion be better on the mailing list? Anyway, I'd probably spend up to a maximum of £50, but it would depend on what the presentations etc. would be about. --Csogilvie 20:16, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Personally I find the email way of doing things incredibly messy - seems so much easier to use a wiki - keeping different aspects on separate pages and being able to tidy things up as you go along --Geoffjones 23:48, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

I'd rather go for the lower end, eg £20, and try and get as much as we can from sponsors. This would be useful to encourage those who will be travelling to the event (eg myself coming from London!) --Tony Scott

The lower end for me too, please: it's probably going to £50++ to get there. --Brenda Burrell

Same here please! It'll cost me a lot to get to Birmingham and even more to get a room for the night. JordanH 20:57, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Cheap as chips please! Accommodation and transport is not cheap, so if you can get revenue from sponsors I think that would be a good idea - Darren Cronian

Lower end too please - £50 seems a little steep just before my tax bill thanks (but happy to contribute around £30) --Ninjaboy

£20-25 seems reasonable for just a ticket, travel and 'housing' expenses will total £60-90+ surely? So total cost is going to be upwards of £100 for even the most streamlined participant. You want to steer clear of the £200 mark for sure. - Mike W.
