Guest fees are negotiated between con committees and the guest's agents.
As a general rule, cons pay for accomodation, airfare, meals and 
entertainment ON TOP OF a public appearance fee (usually ~ $3000).

This makes it very difficult for smaller cons to get guests and is
probably the direct result of some of the mammoth cons held in 
a certain city beginning with a C and ending with a O.
