The Sanctuary

Well....I know hotel might be around $100, give or take. It all depends on how many other people you're rooming with. I think at this point I'm rooming with four other people, and we'll be there for four days....so, yeah, it'll all depend on how many other people you're willing to room with. And on the BrickFair site, there's a code that you can put it when booking a room at the Holiday Inn that'll put the rate down to $99/night instead of $120-something. The majority of people apparently stay at the Holiday Inn, since I guess it's right across the street from the Expo Center (at least according to people I've talked to who were there last year).

 

If you're planning to register for the entire thing, then it's either $50 or $52 ($52 if you register online versus sending in a check). If you're just going to come for a day during one of the public visiting hours, then it'd be $10, though I don't think you'd probably be doing that....

 

No idea about food and extra spending money, but I guess there's a bunch of random fast food places around, and you'd have to ask someone who's actually been there already in regards to how much to bring for memorabilia.

 

Right now, if I can get plane tickets that are in the $200-$300 range, I'm looking at a total of $350 at a minimum so far, but that's just with costs for plane tickets/hotel/registration, and not factoring in food/extra spending money.

 

I love how much of this I attempted to answer, yet I still haven't attended a BrickFair....
