    So if I were flying there from Kansas would it be possible to get a plane ticket, and hotel room for 3 days for under $1000?

      Definitely if you're willing to join other peeps in their hotel rooms. I found you a round trip at 553.25 from Wichita to Toronto, and if you stayed with other ffrers, you could get away with something pretty cheap. If you stayed with us for example, you would only have to pay 26,66$ a night, assuming we rent the same hotel we rented last year

      (the latter thing which I should do asap)
      Forgot where I put my old sig lol

        I'll probably make a more final decision within the next week or two.

        What exactly is 26,66$? Is that $26.66 or $2,666. Really confused.

          $26.66, sorry, in Quebec we put the $ after the price lol. Also, that's Canadian currency.

            Ok, so roughly $25 a night. That is incredibly cheap. How many people are you stuffing into these rooms?

                I think I'd rather pay $50 and share a room with 3-4. Guess that can be worked out when the time comes. Flight costs seem to be the bulk of it. I guess I could devote around $1000 to this experience so that leaves a few hundred of buying anime stuff.

                How much do you guys usually spend on these events?

                    it's a good idea to work out hotel stuff asap. I lost a little money last year because I had to switch plans last minute. less stress too.

                    I spent basically nothing outside of registration/transportation/hotel/food last year. oh and I bought a half-assed cosplay thing at the event site which was pricey lol, but that's neither here nor there. you can get away with spending little or you can splurge and spend a whole lot.

                      more hype and p.s. a simfile collab would be sweet. @kommisar - if you dont mind, when I get back home later, I need to talk to you on skype

                        $45 on pass because I group register with 15+ people early
                        <$60 for hotel room share (2 quad rooms split with 11~12 peeps all chipping in this year)
                        ~$60 for food. if you bring some of your own stuff, like snacks and drinks, you save money here.
                        whatever amount of money you're willing to splurge on merchandise.

                        personally, I don't buy anything other than maybe cds, so I can make it through the weekend with <$100 (not including pass and hotel shares because those are things you should've already paid for before the con)

                          Honestly if you've got your badge and room paid for you can get by at anime north with basically no money at all. There are water stations EVERYWHERE which you can use to hydrate yourself, and it's actually relatively easy to make all of your own meals in a hotel room. Merch will eat up a lot of your money, but eating out will eat up more and you won't leave with anything to show for it. If you do not bring any food at all, you need to buy ~6 meals for probably at least $10 each at the places in the area (other than Harveys or Subway?). If you want to save money my suggestion would be to try to get to a grocery store. bring a loaf of bread and some meat/cheese for sandwiches, a couple of cup ramen (there are usually kettles in the rooms for tea), and maybe some stuff that is easy to microwave, as well as snacks and drinks.

                          This might not apply so much to Izzy who is coming from far away, but people driving in could hit up a grocery store in Toronto before arriving at the hotel

                            2 or 3, depending. they have 2 beds and its 80$ a night. Also have unlimited wifi access and free breakfast.

                            At least thats the one we had last year.

                            Also look up Expedia for low flight rates. They have it good.
