JMA,

Tickets to the show this year were $45 for a weekend pass if you pre-ordered it. I think the price at the door was actually $45 for a one-day pass. Tickets were much more expensive this year than last year, but I can't imagine they will try to charge much more than that next year.

Food is kind of expensive in NYC, of course. I spent between $10-$20 per meal on food, but I don't drink alcohol, so keep that in mind when setting your budget. Food inside the Javits Center is pretty pricey (and pretty bad), so you may want to plan on leaving for lunch or skipping it altogether.
