Charging $5/$10 for the summer coaches tour is new isn't it?

Probably,but it helps defray some of the cost. Still a bargain.

I like the enthusiasm. I like where this program is heading.

Yeah I agree. I just don't remember them charging for those in the past. I didn't think they drew big enough crowds that charging for admission would make sense. I guess a few hundred bucks is better than nothing.

Looks like they are giving free appetizers this time though. I don't think they ever provided those before. Of course that means someone will be posting about not liking the food the day after now.

They can do no wrong if they have cocktail weenies - unless, of course, they run out.

Frazier ended the free lunch that JC was handing out. As long as the prices don't go up too much it's going to work fantastically.

What this does is put a value on the event instead of being something free that you will device last min if you really attend or not. Now you are committing your money. On top of that even though its $5 more people will attend because now the space is limited which just reduced the perceived supply.

Too bad the one by me is at the Foundry. That place totally sucks.

The food? Can't be worse than the food at Huskie Stadium.

The service is better at Huskie Stadium, isn't it? I sorta like the girl behind the counter who hands me my weenie. I'll bet if I asked, she would help me slather it with condiments.

I'm sure this will be a private/banquet room event. All you can do is hope that the locations schedule enough staff and are ready on their end with food/drink etc. I wouldn't worry too much about where the event is taking place...although something at the Two Brother's Roundhouse or something would have been nice. Would've also been smart to have the Chicago one at the new Lagunitas Tap Room.
