I really hope you're able to work something out-- I saw down the comment thread you might be able to go with a friend to split some of the costs. I know it sucks having to deal with money problems and grown-up responsibilities, and how much it can hurt to miss out on opportunities. It's not selfish to prioritize a special event that's not only related to something that interests you, but also involves a group of people who share that interest-- lots of people do the same thing, even if it's not 'fandom', after all. People who try to schedule concert dates or tickets to major sporting events are often adults who just need to do something for themselves, and who want to share an event with a group of people who all feel the same importance.

Part of having a balanced life and emotional health as an adult is finding a way to make room for fun, friends, and things that are just for yourself. It doesn't always work out for specific events, but it's definitely not selfish to want to be able to attend something meaningful with friends. It doesn't sound like you're looking to toss out work/money and family responsibilities, just that you want to be able to work out a compromise that lets you have your thing, too, and that's reasonable.

I've missed a lot of things due to being unable to travel to them, and I've made it to things that still meant a lot to me (even if I had to budget strictly and share rooms and rides), and... like, yeah. We all deserve the things that make being adults worthwhile, even if we worry about how frivolous they might seem.
