The difference however, is the costs are mostly known in advance and saved for. A Worldcon on the West Coast (x) is going to be substantively higher to travel from for a person on the East Coast than a worldcon on the East Coast. If I go to the same convention on the West Coast every year, I tend to know what the costs will be (airfare, hotel, meals, expenses). But if I never go to a Worldcon on the West Coast, or if I've only done it once or twice, it's harder to plan because it means changing the way I save for that convention. A person who goes to Dragon*Con knows the costs and probably plans for it each year.
If they usually go to Dragon*Con, from a far distance, the question becomes, how do I get them to change their habits? Conversely, has Dragon*Con (or SDCC, not to just pick on D*C), asked "how do I attract people away from Worldcon? Just curious here.
