For a show of that caliber, I would expect to pay $15-$20 at the gate

Yeah the prices they have for their event is steep. Plus charging an extra $10 a night for a pit pass doesn't sit well with a lot of pulling fans.

Brent you know which show i am talking about then. I thought 30.00 was a steep price to pay n then pay a extra 10.00 to go see friends down in the pits. Its only a hour drive from my house but i am very hard contemplating on NOT going because of the STEEP prices.

billee,

If I take my wife we spend $60 to get in the gate and another $20 to get in the pits where our friends are, that's $80. $80 and you haven't had anything to eat or drink yet. That's one expensive evening. How about if you bring the whole family? What does it cost to get the kids in? What are you going to spend at the concession stand?

Do we want pulling to be to expensive to take a family to?

That's for one night for a whole family you'd pay $60-$80. Now let's say you have a family of 5 all over the age of 12 that you want to take, but you want to be in the pits. That's $200 just to get in or $150 if you don't go to the pits. Now include any food and drinks and you're looking at a pretty expensive night. Plus gas isn't that cheap anymore so you need to take in the price of gas to get to and from the event. It all adds up and to me that just seems to be too much. $20-$25 for an event like that seems reasonable and that INCLUDES getting into the pits. I guess we will see how it will affect them. It's in an area where there isn't much high level pulling so it still may work out for them, but they may be losing out on protentional spectators with those prices.

Anything over $20 is to much unless you are a Super National event, even then $20 a session is enough. Especially if you are going to charge another $10 to get in the pits. I enjoy walking the pits and visiting with my friends as much as watching the show. I don't expect to pay extra for it.

Not to mention I am a tractor guy. I wouldn't go out of my way to see those three GN classes.

Does the $30 admission and $10 pit pass include a 6 pack of beer and a couple cheeseburgers? The last time I watched the 3 UPM classes the admission was free.

The pull is 50 miles from my house and it'll cost me $45 in fuel just to haul my equipment there and back. I get the prices are higher than most but $30 doesn't seem unreasonable. 14 years and under is $10. I remember going to a RN NTPA event in 1987 and the cost was $12 a person which is about $28 today. Add in you have some GN classes and it seems on par. For comparison I went to a PRACTICE event last year in June and it was $25 a person. The stands were packed.

The extra $10 for the pit pass seems a bit much but perhaps their insurance is higher, especially given COVID so they need to charge more.

Everything is going up in cost. Can't buy a 2x4 for less than $8 these days.

Looks like they are charging $45 for the World if Outlaws sprint race exactly one week later. That includes a pit pass.

If you want to grow the sport pits need to be open and included with admission. Not a extra fee.

I do agree that you shouldn't have to pay for a pit pass. The sport prides itself on being "family friendly" where the fans get to see the drivers and vehicles up close and have a chance to chat with those that have the time. It looks like this is no more than a money grab. I looked at the poster and I can see a family of 4 paying $120 and then the kids want to see the vehicles and now it's another $40. Not a good look for the sport.

the pull is 20 minutes from my place, 30 bucks is the price with inflation. 10 dollar pit pass seems much, but the promotor is use to car racing where you pay more for pit access. also with the Government rules here, he can only have so many people. with the covid issues and being a 1st time for this pull at this venue he has to have higher prices for this pull. i would buy tickets before the pull, but if it rains, 30 bucks is a little hard to throw away. so ill wait and see if the weather plays nice. Memorial week end is a little rough for a pull also. i feel the classes will have limited numbers. I am happy he is trying to get something going there, especially since Hutch is a no go this year.GrinningBeer
