Pulling Entry fees January 24, 2022 07:29AM
What seems to be the going rate pullers are paying for entry fees? local brush pulling level clear up to Grand national/ Champions tour? This has always had me curious. In the garden tractor world pulling indoors we are paying $60/ $75 per hook. I'm just curious what others seem to be handing over to have a couple seconds of fun. Not looking to start any pissing matches, just general curiosity.

At our county fair pull we charge everyone $20 to get into the pits. That covers the first hook if your puling. The second hook is an extra $10.00 at the registration table. So two hooks $30.00

For WTPA it's $20 for a member and non-members are $120. A membership is $100 or $125 depending when you buy it.

I thought entry fee for NTPA GN was 1% of purse. The $100.00 is one day insurance. So if non NTPA member and a $6000.00 purse you would pay $60.00 entry fee and $100.00 or whatever cost is for insurance.

Break even is a good start when putting a pull on indoors. If you make anything you lay it back for next year in case the next pull runs into the red. Several facilities have moved their rental prices up in the neighborhood of 40 percent that I've seen personally. The promotion game is not for the weak of mind nor faint of heart...otherwise everyone would be doing it.

I helped in the office for a indoor antique pull a few years back. Let me assure you, no one is getting rich! After you pay building rent, sled fees, insurance, fuel for track support equipment, possibly pay some help that isn't volunteer, for multi day pulls pay lodging expenses for the help, there isn't much if any left. I see lots of people bitch about hook fees and how someone is getting rich. If you looked at how much is coming in vs. going out for a pull, you're in for a rude awakening.

So does this mean a 1-time hook fee is 120 because of insurance + hook? That seems pretty pricey. I always thought it was just 25 for a 1-time hook. Maybe I'm wrong.

Yes, $100 for the insurance.

In my area $10 for antiques-garden tractors and up to $30 for state level..One association just has you pay the gate fee and that gets you one hook.These are all outdoor pulls..Winter indoor pulls are higher.

Antique in the summer is $15-20 depending on where you go, plus association membership. Winter indoor antique is anywhere from $30-50 depending on where you go.

We transitioned to a new hook fee design a few years ago. Seems to be working for our small town event with allowing 1 hook per each pulling vehicle very well.

Previously we charged 8-10 admission but pullers didn't pay admission. We charged a $20 hook fee that came with 2 pit passes($20 value)

Currently we have went to a Flat $10 admission/pit pass for everyone & We do not charge a hook fee. We do take $20 from our admission per machine in each classes to add to that class purse.

Ultimately we have reduced the confusion of who needs to pay admission (vs whom is pulling) and reduced the handling of payment & making change at our sign up process which saves time as well. Not perfect for everyone but works very well for us!
