More details in this morning's DL Park Update.

$75 per team? HOLY COW! That's crazy - and more expensive then the first Invitational.

Yeah, so I'm reading that thinking the price hike is because of the "dessert mixer" .... but that's an EXTRA twenty bucks.

Jeebus!


It would be one thing if having the pre and post at the Paradise Pier didn't COMPLETELY SUCK.

Ha, right, as if we've ever backed down from a challenge. I'm kinda annoyed that we were told one date was possible and then Alex says it was not a possible date, but hey, I'm not the one organizing this madness, so I can't judge, really.

I wonder if there'll ever be a point where the massiveness of the event will outpace the price spikes by Disney and we'll see the fee plateau.

I wouldn't use the word "completely"...place for everyone to sit, air conditioning, microphones. Yep, that's the full list of Pros.

As always, subject to change without notice. And I seem to recall hearing shortly after the at-event announcement that they learned that early November was probably out, so I'm none too surprised

For us 2 player teams, the current pricing scheme sucks hard. They used to charge per player. Back when it was $15 per player, a team of 4 was spending $60, while we were spending $30. Now that it's $75/team, a team of 2 has to pay twice as much as before, while a team of 4 only spends 25% more.

I think we're priced out.

[katiesue]

We're in. I think Swanie would sell a kid if the price got too high

It is a lot but it also our get away hang out weekend so for us, still doable. A movie tickets around $10 so for our team it's not much more than a movie and popcorn/soda.

They did announce shortly after the last one that the November dates were out with Disney.

Really? It's only $18.75 each for a 4 person team. I'm sure there's someone you guys can pick up if you need more players.

[BarTopDancer]

We'll have 4 players. The $75 is a lot for this event regardless of how it is broken down - more of value for the dollar than actual money money.
