The biggest variable is transportation. Airfare, airport transfers, or the cost of driving to Memphis will depend on the attendee's starting location and travel arrangements.
This is a preliminary planning budget, not an all-inclusive package price. Actual expenses will vary depending on accommodations, dining choices, transportation, and additional activities. For blues fans planning to spend several days attending the IBC, these figures provide a starting point for determining the overall cost of the experience.
LODGING NOTE: Staying at the official event hotel is not required. More affordable accommodations may be available elsewhere in Memphis, although additional ground transportation and parking expenses should be factored into the overall budget when comparing lodging options.
