The best thing you can do as a business is to make money. I never once had issue with the price I'm being charged. I"m fine with it.
Clearly they made money last year or they wouldn't have brought them back this year, right? This year will be the telling factor since this isn't the King's farewell tour. This show went dark a few years ago if you remember because it had become poorly attended and I'm sure the promoter took a bath, which at that time was SLS, I believe.

I'm not exaggerating the price. It was $35 for a reserved ticket last year. Yes, they say its $30 and then you have a $5 upcharge to sit in the covered grandstand. So where am I exaggerating? Did you even go last year? Probably not or you would know what I'm referencing.

I will sit this show out and take him to two shows at Eldora instead where it will only cost me $4 for him, which is the cost of his reserved seat to sit in the grandstand because he is FREE because he is 5. I'll still end up spending $20 to take him once we go to the concession stand and the souvenir trailers.

I'm not asking for free admission at all, but a reduced rate is fair and it fosters the next generation of fan, which creates a return customers and increased revenue stream for the future, which as a business you must always be concerned of your future growth and revenue streams, which in racing is a family and generational situation more so than any other ala... Dave Despain's comments last night about the Wilke Pak team.

If you know anything about Marketing 101.......Its cheaper to retain a customer than it is to acquire a new one. Its a 80% cheaper, do the math. I think I will sit this show out, which will cost the promoter way more than the reduction of a kids ticket. Now, who loses?

WoO might work with tracks and selected groups such as SLS, but they are not promoters and I'm sure their risk is minimal to say the least. The Bloomington deal was a no brainer(Steve's so called last race @ Bloomington) and I'm sure if it wasn't for Bernie being the front man on it that deal wouldn't have happened. Hence the '15 schedule doesn't have Bloomington or Terre Haute.

At the end of the day the promoter can do what they want and I'll vote with my dollars.
