I don't think that anyone is begrudging TD's from making a profit, but more
that the price of a tour event has gone up 30 pounds per team in a year and
there has been no indication of which part of the event has also gone up in
price. If the fields have gone up in price or other things involved with the
tournament have increased then i think that everyone would be quite happy to
pay the money. I think that people need some reassurance that their extra
money has gone somewhere useful and not just put an extra 1200 pounds (30 x
40 teams) in the TD's pocket.

It must be that time of year again when we have our annual tournament
pricing debate.
Many people may object, but have any teams ever pulled out or not entered a
tour event because of the price?
If not then the market rate (I think it's called the equilibrium price -
any economists out there?) has not been reached and tournament directors
can quite happily increase their charges secure in the knowledge that their
customers (ultimate teams) will still buy their product. I reckon that you
would probably still fill £300+ open tour events.
Sadly this would still not be enough to price those damned hippies out of
the game! ;-)
