Oct. '12 1500 - Admission Prices

[Scoutmom]

Hi

Does anyone know how much General Admission to the 1500 this weekend will be for both the 3 day pass and a 1 day admission?

Thanks

$12 for one day and $17 for 3. They raised it $2 from the spring show.

So what time does the gun show start on Friday ?

I don't care for the mailer this time either. Evidently you get $2 off if 2 people come together, not a dollar for one. /-:

Thank you for the info.

My mailer card says $4 off 2 tickets, $2 if just 1 ticket.....

I can't believe they raised the price again. Is parking free this time?

 

[DanVoils]

Should be $5 since the RV people haven't rented the whole fairgrounds like last show.

 

[Shutterbug]

Any other discount coupons available anywhere other than the flyer?

 

[Raskolnikov]

Well, that's $17 less I'll be spending at the show...

I don't know why they raised the price again....

 

[dbrier]

I'm guessing the fairgrounds has raised the price of the rental and the cost is being passed on to us.

Definitely a noob question here.....

Can you buy tickets in advance or is it at-the-door only?

If in advance, where are they available?

Thanks

 

[minuteman32]

I looked again ...

My mailer card says $4 off 2 tickets, $2 if just 1 ticket.....

Mine does say $4 off two, but nothing about $2 off for one. You must've gotten their extra special discount mailer.

$12 admission + $5 parking + $15 gas = ME NOT GOING!!!

It's just like everything else; they nickel-and-dime you for everything. The vendors will start complaining if they raise the prices again as people will stop coming.

Parking fees goes to the fairground. Admission to the show goes to the promoter who then pays all his expenses (ie: the fairgrounds)... He has no control what they charge for parking

I'm guessing the fairgrounds has raised the price of the rental and the cost is being passed on to us.

That could very well be it, plus he has staff and security he as to pay for besides rental of the building..

The vendors have had their pricing raised also, it isn't just you. $100 a table, when I started doing the show about 6 years ago or so it was only $85 or $90. Trust me on this, attendance has not gone down despite the price increase to the public to get in
Now please explain who is nickle and dime us for everything? if you want to lay blame anywhere, lay it on the fairgrounds as they are the ones in the end that make the most off this event I am sure

Yeah, so I didn't get my mailer for this show. I have checked in the paper, but no coupon in there either. Anyone know where to get one? If not, I will be there at 2:00pm tomorrow, if someone has a mailer, I could be the second person to save a couple of bucks.

I was directing this towards the Fairgrounds. No offense meant.
