Todd,

Having worked many conventions, maybe I can shed some light on this. I get the feeling from you that it's not the money, but the principle of the thing. Why pay admission and only see a part of the show?

First of all, if the admission is $6.50 for everyone, what time in the day would you change it? I understand its not fair for someone to get all day for $6.50 and another get 20 minutes for the same price, but consider the problem.

If you go to the theater 1 hour before the movie ends, the price will be the same as it was in the morning and you are not going to see all the show. It's not fair, but its the only way to do it. The only alternative is to have a sliding scale of admission for the time of day. Sound like too much work.

Just opening the gates once a majority of the trucks/exhibits have gone or closed would not work because of the required liablitiy forms. If someone is still working at the show, an entrance fee should still be charged. And at the price of a couple of gallons of petrol, the price is dirt cheap already.

That having been said, someone should have reminded you that comming so late in the event, a lot of the people and trucks would be gone.
If I were you, I would be dissappointed that I paid full fare to see only a tiny part of the show, but I would also be mad at myself for coming so late in the day and missing all the fun stuff. Just suck it up and resolve to get there earlier next year.
Best Wishes
Lonnie
