ok lets break out ole calc.exe
40 xs 10,000= 400,000
2000 xs 250 = 500,000
so tell me, do the stocking stuffers make up the extra 100k to bring this event to a cold million in avns pocket?

for a million bucks you should fly us out there, pay for our rooms, buy us exotic strippers and lobster the entire time...

lemme guess, its the security + insuarance thats driving the prices up? lol... and please dont tell me that the increase is to cover the cost of mailing badges or anything like that

you know, i attend a bunch of other conventions in a year, and hun this is the only one where both the adverts + the attendees have to fork over the cash

so again, you said you have awnsers, i still have my 1st question

do you not think you are all ready getting enuff?

I'm really not going to discuss Internext's P&L statements on GFY... hun.

That said... personally I don't think they make enough money off the events, no. In my opinion, this show now offers attendees a return that far out-weighs the cost. But that's just my personal opinion.
