Hi Scott,
>From what I understand, the additional space charges not
being discounted was done on purpose to keep (the many)
people/vendors in check regarding excessive space use
during the jam packed years.
When you have/had 25,000 plus people at an event, the
space rental was cheap to the larger dealers. They'd
take up an entire row or prime space and small types
folks would be sent out to the nose bleed sections.
All the price levels were set by the previously mentioned
Corporation (, which actually reported a loss of income
those years) and they were not flexible in any way.
>From about 2 years ago, the Dayton folks are hands on
again, trying like heck to make the Hamvention Event
more fun and practical for everyone.
Hope to see you there...
cheers,
