I'm a huge fan of Joshua Davis and really wanted to go to the above. But when I looked for further information, I have to say I was a little disappointed.
Is it me or is there something really unfair about this:
http://www.fitc.ca/events/davis/…Check out the registration prices, $400 Canadian dollars, $400 US Dollars for the same two-day event.
But for london: £400 for the same two-day event - this is nearly twice as much as the US event based on the current exchange rate.
As a brit, there's nothing worse than being ripped off by another Brit but we're almost used to that or accepting of that. But I surely don't want foreigners taking advantage of this too.
End rant. Sorry Mr Davis - i think i'll give this a miss.
:(

£400 is expensive espcially when its only £200 elsewhere.

how to alienate your following in one easy step - treat them as stupid enough not to realise they're getting ripped off.

It's just shit isn't it - we get ripped off left right ad centre in England and especially in London.
Although it doesn't account for much of it, I guess rental prices will be higher here but that'd perhaps add a tenner per ticket?

happens all the time crouwel. price in $ = price in £ on the shelves. its started happening on te interwebs too :-(

£ 400 = $ 721
C$ 400 = $ 320

i think he likes the number '400'.
stay well away from it - looks like a cheap shot.

Can't say I'd pay 50 quid for it myself.
- MX_OnD0
moth, you just wouldn't pay £50 for anything though.

i guess a lot of travel expense has been calculated in this price. is he staying at the Ritz or something?

that must be why they stopped concorde last year, pimping it up for this weekend

"i guess a lot of travel expense has been calculated in this price. is he staying at the Ritz or something?"
But have you seen where the event is being held - "North Action" - I think they mean North Acton. Hardly the best of places to get to in London.
