    Everyone has a right to choose whether a event warrants the price for admission so I won't knock you for your choice of going or not going.
    As far as the PDC, if I was running the show as a businessman, I'd raise the prices on thee above mentioned as well. The crowd for this event has outgrown the facility. They sell more tickets than they have seats by a long shot. Curl and Co. don't promote these events to break even. It's a business. And when your product is that successful, you can raise those prices. For every person that decides to skip FALS PDC, their are 2 new fans that will come thru the gate. If FALS ever lost 1000 fans for the PDC and nobody would ever notice.

          So if you lose fans you actually gain fans. Hmm? Wonder if I could apply that strategy to my bank account!!!!

          So if a million people skip this race, then two million others will show up to take their place???? WOW!!!!

              Is there another race track in the USA that charges $10 to get in for a 2,500 the win race & 12 and under are free to get in? If there is... I would like to here about that track. FALS give you more bang 4 you're buck then any track that I know of. Oak Shade also gives fans a great deal to get in as well.

                Correct, closer to 8K.

                  Biggest purse and lowest admission I've heard of.

                    Not complaining about weekly show. My point is $10 to get in for 2500 to win. But raise that to 3000 to win an it doubles? That's all I'm saying. An 8000 so let's say 6000 adults that's 270,000 just from admission not including reserved camp pits concessions.

                      If FALS makes a million off the PDC, that would mean Farmer City would make a quarter million off the illini 100, yet they can afford to buy toilet paper. I say your math is wrong.

                        I have been to Oak Shade the last two yrs. 4 the last 2 races of the Hell Tour. I'm pretty sure it was $12 bucks to get in for a 5k to win race & $12 to get in the 2nd night for a 10k to win race. But... Both times... You just hope for rain. They don't put enough water on the track. They bring out a mister to dampen the track. And it took rubber both times. No passing @ all. Maybe, I have had just bad luck there. Idk.. But, the prices were good & the fans pack the place.

                          Minus seat capacity I'm not too far off just do the math but it is what it is I know I drop a few thousand their that weekend alone. As far as farmer city woo leases that track for the illini so farmer city doesn't make the $ woo does as they put the show on. Also I use the bathroom at farmer never had an issue.

                                It's my business Christmas party. We do Christmas in July. I pay for 22 people to get in plus buy all the beer and food on Friday. So yeah I easily spend that. I just picked up 16 cases of beer for it as it was on sale 1099 a case. I'm usually far back with a big group before races and after races with bags beer pong bags an bonfire. We had some drivers come back last year. An expect more to join this year.
