Subject: RE: VCF UK? (was Re: VCF West hotel)
Apparently Fairfield cost ukp19K! Chris
must've lost an
awful lot of
cash, unless he was padded out by Retro Gamer
magazine.....
Holy crap! That HAD to be a loss. I don't know how a small
gamer's show could make money with a bill like that. Either
that figure is severely wrong or someone is mortgaging the
house right now.
That was for a lot of stuff though - hire of a lot of the place from
Friday lunchtime till Monday lunchtime (ish), all the security, staff
and at least 3 big rooms; the hall we were in was big, there was the
entire floor at the top of the stairs that I didn't see and another room
that I also didn't see, plus the hospitality suite on the top floor.
I've been told we had over 700 people in....maybe I should find out how
much the tickets were!
I'll also double-check with the other exhibitors to see if they were
told how much it all was.....
Cheers
