Nope, way over priced

I take it you're going now? Thought you said the prices were too steep?

Don't think it has sold all that well, dropped the prices this week and even offered freebies to some coteries

Decided to go WP
Pity they didn't give some freebies to former players who were to be charged full price
Interesting to see how many actually go

the "freebies" were the cheap seats that are now selling for $60 (were around $120 IIRC) - the mezzanine seats with no food or drink

Gold tickets did sell quick


Yep they did but the silver haven't and neither have the mezzanine ones

Just think it was over priced.

I actually think the majoirty of clubs go about it the wrong when they price their functions. Over price them.

Shouldn't be looking at making the profit on entry to the event but on getting the people to spend on the night, raffles, auctions etc..

bj17 it was easy to find out - just look at the RFC website ::) ::) besides they sent every member an email about it so it was that hard  ::)

But the prices were for the 3 categories

GOLD = $360

SILVER = $300

MEZZANINE LEVEL (didn't include anything bar entry to watch) = started at $150, then went to $120, 4 days out were selling them for $60
