LAST EVER MK

<< < (3/12) > >>

Tachikoma:
And now I am even more glad I decided to fly over from japan for it.

Loved every second of every one i've been to.

Not for the first time I've been informed that the MK ticket charges are apparently a 'piss take'

First off
No-one has to come for the entire weekend (or at all for that matter) but the ticket prices were carefully calculated to get us as close to covering costs as possible
None of the radmins get a single penny out of the Rad pot - in fact quite the opposite, you usually find that they've paid over the top as well as giving up their own time. If you added up all the time taken to do 'boring' stuff and tried to get people to do it commercially you'd struggle

As for charging for kids this year? They are very welcome of course but they still take up room if camping etc and they will still get fed & watered for free on Saturday. If someone wants to have a very cheap family day out there's still the option to come on Sunday and not pay a single penny. £10 in a pub on Saturday anywhere wouldn't last long even buying kids' drinks would it?

Even with the money from site tags, charging for tickets and selling stuff like calendars and tee shirts it's still a massive challenge putting this event on at this price - I know because I'm looking at the budget right now - here are some of the highlights (although it's by no means an exhaustive list)

Marquees
Public Liability Insurance
PA
Generator
Ramp Construction
24hr Security
First Aid
Toilets
Skips
Free Bar
Hog Roast
Trophies

That little lot is well over 10 grand and that's before we even get Bob H over from the US of A

Dunno why I feel the need to explain anything, people should know the score by now

Fook me  :rant:, how is 25 quid for a full weekend a piss take?, that wouldn't even get you a gt seat clamp off the bay.

Since I'm over again this year I guess I'll be on litter duty with our clint, chubs and dave again :)
