As mentioned before, if the event is worth it I'm willing to pay a fair price.

Owning a Subaru and not being able to pay 20$ for a once a year event is downright retarded.

That said, whats the restroom situation gonna be? Im not a big fan of waiting in a 20 person line to use the restroom.

im all for it... (might not own my suby by then but eh)

just hope this is planned out correctly because @ 10$ and such a nice location you know people are not going to pre-pay and want to show up the day of.

which will lead to people trying to get in for free, causing food shortages and other problems (stolen stuff)

good luck

Watching a bad movie on a friday night = $11.00 minimum. With food and drink = $20.00

Hanging out with other Subaru owners on Treasure Island with food and other fun stuff included = $20.00.

Sure sounds fair to me and you will not wonder what happened to the last 2 hours of your life.

Just for reference, most local shows charge about $40 a Booth. Some then take a portion of the profit. Some don't. We charged $25 and instead of profit sharing we asked vendors to step up with raffle prizes. We charged less and brought in a Mobil cafe and ice cream truck. Some of the big time shows charge a lot more. This year we're apart of one of the bays biggest shows in the bay and one of the biggest in the world in a couple weeks.

Seriously. I don't mind paying $20 for an event as big as BAM. If we can all spend on new wheels and all the other unnecessary mods, we should be able to pay $20 for some bomb *** food, being able to see nice cars and the events, including the raffle prizes. It's a great deal. It's once a year, it shouldn't be much of a sacrifice.

You'd be surprised how prices compare. Hell I could have catered my daughters first bday party for less than it cost me to cook and the food would have been better.
$20 last year? How? It was $5 a person... How much was parking/gate again? (A fee we can't get rid of)

Yeah, I can't remember exactly but regardless, $5 is what the fee was... There's gotta be a fine balance of entrance fee and vendor support... Greg's on the ball and I support everything he's doing.

I'm pretty sure they jacked their rates up and were charging like $10.

They hit us with a ten spot last year even though they had raised it temporarily to 8.
