I understand that putting on events is not free and there are many assorted costs, but it would be nice if the people who lived in Sowal could still afford to attend many of the great local events.
More and more I hear from locals that they can't afford their favorite events anymore and the only way they will attend is if they win tickets.
And this is a valid complaint as ticket price increases and additional "service fees" over the last several years have doubled or tripled the costs of many popular 30A events.
Even more frustrating is that these increases have come during times when many people are struggling due to the recession and the BP spill.
These events are part of what make Sowal a great place to live. Please keep that in mind when pricing your events and see if you can offer a lower entry cost and offset it by charging more for extras like T-shirts/merchandise, VIP areas, and food and beverage.
