i would say roughly $750-$1000 this includes flight.
$300-400 flight(pricey to fly to Seattle)
$50 gorge camping(terrace camping was like $200 per vehicle)
$120 3-day lawn pass.
$100 food/beer
Transportation ??
There is a really nice Gorge FAQ in the gorge thread. Pretty much breaks down everything.

I can add to this... we did Gorge from Chicago the last two years.
And yes the Gorge folks put together a fantastic FAQ that took a ton of work, so read it and you can post questions in the Gorge FAQ thread.
$400 flight
Camping pass varies - how many people? Premier camping is great, tickets are $200/car. General camping is about $100/car, and Terrace is $350 or so and much harder to get.
If you want to do lawn you can pick up tickets at the gorge for cheap or even free. Several people in our group showed up last year without tickets and found them each day for $20-$30, and one day for free. Some in our group bought 3-day lawn passes off the boards for $100 each (3 days)
We rented a larger SUV both times and it was $450-$500. Someone in our group got a medium SUV last year for $320. This is for Thursday-Tuesday.
Food and beer is what you want to spend, obviously. We dropped $100 at the liquor store easily.
Then posters, merch, beer at the show, etc - obviously that is all up to you.
We flew in Wed-Tues so we had hotel costs on Wed night and Mon night.
