Oh btw,
Gamepad is approximately 109 miles from my house. It's a ways. Stopping off to pick other people up extends that journey. Last time I picked up Noraa and NEO which was about an extra 16 miles out of the way. 125 miles total. Now thats 1-way- so a round trip is 250 miles. Thats the distance of some high level NASCAR races.
My car gets about 25 miles to the gallon. So that equates to a total cost of about 10 gallons of fuel to make the trip. Gas is running at about 2.65 here. So the total cost for gas alone to make the trip is 26.50. Accordingly, I'm going to charge all my riders $10.
So you see, I have to make a large effort to be at this event. Meaning, the 3 bucks everyone saves helps pay for the cost to be there. So by not lowering your venue fee, you lose my car and everyone in it, which means you forfeit the attendance to get more money. SOVAman and his car won't come either, so you just lost 7 people right off the bat. We aren't going to pay you 10 and you'll end up not being able to pay your employees as the attendance will decrease.
Or you can compromise and lower it to 7- and get the 49 bucks from our two cars + anyone else that might not like the venue fee. We can play smash in our basements for free. If you work with me, I'll work with you! Plus I'd rather give you guys business than game haven anyways.
Thanks
Well then I can't bring people to your venue. Since I'm a man of business, I'll explain.I wish we could lower the venue fee, but we just can't. We have to pay for the space, pay our employees, etc. You guys have to realize that you are only paying $10 to play all day, and those that were there last time can vouch for how sweet the venue was.
