Thinking about doing a small game trade show

[Melf]

I was thinking about running a small game trade show to gauge interest in my area. I would use the amphitheater at my university for it, and all fees would go towards grants for lower income students. This is what I was considering:

- $2-$3 entrance fee.
- renting tables for $5 so that attendees could sell/trade their used games and PC stuff.
- holding auctions ($2 or so to list items)
- door prizes and raffle
- classic & modern game tournaments on the theater screen via data projector.

Nothing big, no key-note speeches or anything. Just something small for the local populace.

Anything else I should consider? Anything legal?

I'm seriously thinking about this because it's not the money that interests me. The university gets that for grants and they're only expense is giving us the amphitheater for a Saturday.

Well it couldn't hurt to give it a try, I sure wish there were more game conventions/shows or what have you.

You probably are wasting your time. But I guess it wouldn't hurt to try it once and see what happens.

Lower income students? Isn't school free or some shit over there?

No. Private universities here are three times as expensive as the public one, and 67% of our students are lower income.

Trust this guy, he plays Madden.

I can see every booth has at least Madden 1997 to 2006 on tables, and looking to trade for 2007.

I predict failure.

This sounds like Magfest to me.

Have a wet bar, charge out the ass for drinks. That'll make you a mint.
