Bill Williams On Extravagant Convention Costs
posted April 30, 2008
 

It has always been hellishly expensive rent the equipment at the convention from the promoters. At SDCC, it is cheaper to go down the street and buy a six-foot table from Office Depot than it is to rent the one from the show organizers. You can buy a 4-pack of folding chairs for what it costs to rent one. I used to work in the automotive industry and did a few of those shows and it is just as bad there.

It's like robbery.
