If you don't ride a motorcycle, get a dedicated car helmet. If you have a motorcycle, then get a motorcycle helmet, full face. Don't get open face. Keep the visor down, if it's not too hot.
I happen to like the Bell helmets a whole lot. I have a pretty wide head, and they tend to fit me better. Try to go to somewhere that has some in stock, or order from a place that allows returns. Expect it to be tight for a while. 300-400 is probably average. Just remember it's your head. It's worth protecting. Usually.

Like others have said, it's really worth it to be able to try them on in person, especially if you have no idea what size you head is.
If this is your first event, you also might want to consider seeing if they will have loaner helmets, and use one of those. No point dropping the cash for your own helmet just to find out this isn't something you want to do on the regular.
