Indiana State Fairgrounds Parking Rate Increase

[Sheriff Dave]

I went yesterday, between the parking and the cost to get in, it makes it hard to feel like you are saving any money at all when buying something.

I skipped 4 in a row.

But when I didn't, I treated it like entertainment. Back then $17 for couple hours still cheaper and healthier than going to a movie, sit my butt down eating popcorn drinking soda.

Went to the fairgrounds this morning (primarily out of boredom) for the swap meet. Event parking NOW $10. I believe I've attended my last event down there. Man we used to LOVE going to the hockey games, train shows, home shows, etc but it doesn't seem like there's a lot that you can do there for less than a U.S. Grant for two people!

Yes one of the reasons i quit going to gun shows there, i can entertain myself on the net, get a lot better deals, and get it shipped to my door!!!!

They have no problem raising rates, but haven't done anything to improve the parking areas. Looks like I'll be skipping the 1500 at least until there are more dealers there and prices start getting back to where they should be.

We could all park Down the street and ride bird scooters to the gate.

This was apparent at the swap meet as well. The room was a dismal 1/3 the number of vendors that it has been and even then it was pretty poor.

I drove 90 minutes each way to attend the last 2 and was disappointed both times so I won't be going back until I start hearing it's closer to what the 1500 used to be.

With internet purchase to FFL, the walk in shows may never be what they once were.

Normally I have the gf drip me off at the street outside and have her pick me up. We live pretty close so it's an easy in and out.

Sad but true. I mainly go to the show to get bullets from Vance Bullets, but have purchased a few party poppers there. Now I get my party poppers from Rural king or the local shop.

Combined cost of parking and gunshow entry is now $22.00????

I spent the $10 last time, drove in, saw the line, drove out and went back home. I may be a sucker but I'm not a fool. Or something like that. LOL.

$10 parking and $15 at the door to get in (without coupon)... You are forced to buy a “weekend pass” for a 2-3 hour walk through. $30 total with one paper cup of Pepsi...

That is finally enough after all these years. I won’t be going back.
