Yeah, the price is hilarious. I was already iffy on going to this one due to the crappy arrangement for general admission seating. No thanks.

That has to be a mistake.. if it is not, then they are delusional. It's not Disneyland.. nor Dayton, Oshkosh or other big show.

Specifically banned, as is entering on foot.
Clearly organising shuttle buses to work around site limitations is impossible.

From the website:
Quote:
Due to limited parking spaces, you CANNOT park offsite, ride-share to the airport, walk to the airport or purchase parking the day of the event.

That doesn't even make sense! They're saying that to save parking space, everyone has to park? What kind mornon comes up with that as a reason???
I promise you, someone is gonna fight that.

Sounds like they will get a lot of volunteers that will just go AWOL when the show starts!

I think it's a mistake: similar shows are charging $15, so I think someone got the decimal point in the wrong place. I bet they still sell some though!

But they did it on ALL of the parking not just single car - plus the statement about ride share/drop offs on the page make me think they are legit selling them at this price and ONLY using the paved lot there at the airport.

It's definitely not a misprint. The show provided graphics to news organizations. See here:

...well, $150 doesn't go as far as it used to. :)
