The couple of people where $3 is a determing factor of "I can afford it" or "I can't afford to go", then they probably have more serious uses for the whole of the fee and be much happier going to Red Box and renting a movie for a dollar.

Now that you have chosen a cheaper and less than optimal site for an event to try to lure X% (let's say you have to lose some of the martial activities or camping due to usable space or unsatisfactory space or site restrictions) what does that do for the people who would otherwise like to attend but now see no reason to? You may have lost their fees.

Well stated. I concur on all but the very last. I have never claimed to
be handsome and it has been a while since I dashed, though I am working
on it. Thank you, though. ;-)
