Ash, we have one here in Ohio called the Battle of Magicians that only runs around $90 bucks and that includes your ticket to the main palace headliner show. It is always the last weekend of April or first weekend in May. It runs from a Thursday evening to a Saturday evening. Of course you would still have to pay for your hotel room for 2 or 3 evenings as well though and any money to buy items at the dealers tables. I can get you info if you are interested.
