Folks, in response to some concerns, the event fee to attend WTD 2008 have been significantly reduced. As a result, some "niceties" have been removed in order to offer a lower price.

In a nutshell, REGISTRATION for WTD is now $27 (Reduced from $75). This amount is for both Driver OR Passenger (so it's $27 each). Event t-shirts are "a la cart" and priced at $18.

Sorry to hear that.

Once again, the Dragon Team proves their flexibility and resillience. After all this time, how anyone could doubt that they do the best they can to give us what they think we want is beyond me. Personally, were I organizing this thing, I would have been inclinded to just walk away.

I wonder if all those complaining about the "high fee" for this meet took the time to answer the post-WTD survey last year with the concern that things were getting too expensive. I'd venture to guess none did.

I take 4 people and two cars to these events. This is, IMO, the *best bang for the buck* of any $$$ we spend all year.

Thanks again to the organizers, my hat is off to you all.

I voiced my opinion...on the other "Thread".... The longer I keep reading these posts...the more upset, I get...!!!! Makes me just want to turn the PC off....Raul, Ron, Sheila...and the whole event staff...my heart goes out, to the work you do for "US".....All I can say is....I am glad it's not me, putting this together, and so would lots of other peeps....If that would be the case....well...I'll just leave it there, before the "mods" sent me a PM.....

Thanks, Team...!!! Thanks to the loyal Dragon goers..!!!
The Cincy crew, will see all of you on Thursday afternoon @ Fontana

I just stepped over to this forum and caught up on the story. I thought $75 was starting to creep up there too -- but I don't want to say that without disclaimer that I would still pay it and not think twice about actually getting my money worth. To the people that don't think $75 is worth it -- let me tell you about my return trip after last year's WTD. I had to come back for court 3 weeks after the event. My fines ended up being ~$200. This place is so much fun that even BY MYSELF, and after my court appearance and costs, I stuck around for another 48 hours of Dragon 'ing. How can you say it's not worth $75?

I never cared much for the book or lunch. I was always out during that time it seems. But I hate to lose the magnet. The shirts won't last -- or FIT forever. But the magnets will. They're so small it would be impossible to ever justify throwing them away but they're enough to always serve as a reminder, or a trigger for all the memories made.

Wow, I'm kind of surprised the pricing changed at all, consdering how much work and effort, not to mention actual money, goes into organizing these events.

Event organizers leave their day jobs early to get up there and set up, spend time managing the event instead of driving, and don't get money for their time. The entry cost is more than just a shirt and a box lunch, its also a huge social event that brings S enthusiasts from all over the continent together to drive. Paying even $100 to be part of that shouldn't be a big deal imo. Now that the event is getting customized, there's more work for the organizers.

Every year there are more and more people present at these events, and with rising popularity you usually see a rise in prices. You can go to the Dragon any day of the year, its a public road and its free, and there are actually a lot of other great roads to drive on, so I'm shocked people would complain about registration costs.

Good for you Raul, get back to basics, keep it simple. You and your staff don't deserve a lot of crap over rising costs.

Y'all,

I can't believe someone complained about the cost - obviously someone that has never put on or worked an event of this magitude!

Quoting a previous input .....

If work permits I'll be there to support Raul, Ron, Shelia and the rest of the event crew. Y'all are great and put on a great event.
