Just out of curiosity. I came into Boston on Thursday with 300.00 and left with 120.00 on Monday. Only things I bought were food, a Pax scarf, and raffle tickets and maybe one or two cabs. Couple of my other friends blew money away however. I left with about 17+ shirts, couple of prizes from raffles and other goodies. It all turned out great!

Got some merch, games, cookies, fancy breakfasts, overpriced venue food. It adds up pretty quick.
Your best bet would be ebay but the prices would probably be insane for a scarf.
If I was 21+ I am pretty sure I would of spent a lot more in booze! :X
The scarves and shirts are a con exclusive design each year.
Between food/hotel/etc I just didn't need much else.

Would have, had I the cash though.
So $1,039. Holy crap. I need someone to show me this post 10 months from now and remind me to save some money.
Oh well, I'll get one next year. I didn't have enough money on me at the time.
$819 on hotel
$140 on train tickets
$120 on food and snacks
$80 on some board games
$65 on a pass
$45 on cookie brigade
$40 on misc. transportation
$20 on a scarf
Total: $1329
And I'd do it again in a heartbeat, and probably will twice a year for the foreseeable future.. Hands down one of the best experiences of my life, and worth every penny. I'll be frugal the rest of the year, PAX is worth splurging a bit.
Ticket- $60
BYOC Ticket= $30
Food= $30 (brought alot of my own)
Transportation= walked
i did walk away with some cool stuff though
$42 on food
Still have $200

The real question is did it work when he got home?
Not only is it really rare, it's the best skin in the game. It makes Jax into the Cardboard Tube Samurai.
haha, i finally grit my teeth and looked at my bank account and credit card balances this morning. bank account isn't as bad as it could have been, but the credit card is maxed. oh well. it was worth it.
Totally worth it!

404.00 in total. Spent around the same last year. My bank is taking a hit being a full time college student who is unemployed :X
@LocalHJay holy crap is it worth that much???? No wonder all I found was silvirs. My friends wanted some LoL skins so I tried grabbing a few. Only have silvirs. I don't play LoL myself.
I came out of pax with 17 shirts, 1 corsair m90 vengeance mouse, 1 Qpad mouse pad signed by esports people, 1 xbox 360 wired controller and 1 year of mlg subscription code. None of which I really want so hopefully I will get some cash back (except for shirts!) :X
Luck you. I only came away with two shirts at the PAX.
$550 on hotel
$60 on Bus tickets
$85 on swag
$40 on food
So around $840. Could have been worse
That and food and the convention center and I ate out every night and that adds up quick.
Probably too much overall but it was worth it of course.
Hotel - $150 (woot, split room)
Train tickets - $136
Spending cash and snacks/drinks for the train and show - $400, mostly food and booze and tips at restaurants.
Not bad. I saved up that spending money for a few months ahead of time.
Stayed at a Hostel for 5 nights - $130.00
Food - roughly $100
Transportation - $60
Swag - $40
Other expenses - $120
In the end, roughly spent $450.
Next time I'll try to only spend $200!!
Got like two shirts, the scarf, and a board game.
65 for the badge
300 airfare
90 for the airport shuttle (here, not in Boston; I live 50 miles from the airport so it was 45 each way)
103 for hotel (yay for roomshare!)
70 on merch/games at PAX
80 or so on cabs thanks to getting ripped off a few times by assholes taking the long way around
30 at The Compleat [sic] Strategist on Monday
The rest on food, Guinness, and coffee
Breaking it down like this in my head the other day made me realize there were some places where I could have saved A LOT of money, mainly the cabs (take the T instead!), the airport shuttle (Greyhound next time!), and the airfare, which is cheaper depending on when you book your flight.
Totally worth it, though.
