We all know of the furor over OOB charging $15 to enter their show - a show that lacks organization and fairness. A show that caters to out-of-staters because Massachusetts and Canadian folks have, and spend, more money. That is understandable - go where the money is. But many Maine folks feel that OOB is not treating Maine folks fairly. Charging Massachusetts prices for a sub-standard show.
HotKarz has heard from both sides of the issue. And that makes us curious - what percentage of folks think the $15 fee is appropriate, and what percentage think it is not. So, to the left of this blog there are two polls, to see what you, the folks, think. One poll asks if you think the fee is FAIR, or if it is OVERPRICED. The second poll asks if you plan on attending the show next year if the fee remains at $15 (or goes even higher).
I realize that typically most folks do not bother with polls, so the actual number of responses will not matter so much as the PERCENTAGE of one side versus the other. I think it will be interesting to see how many folks are on each side of this issue.
Bear in mind - there is no way anyone can tell how you voted. Even my weblogs don't discern who voted, or how. So, please share your thoughts.

I have problem with any amount, if it does not go to a charity.
For those shows that are designed to bring the spending public to a location for the local vendors to get an economic boost, I think the organizers should show appreciation to the participants and not charge.
I agree with James, if the money is for chairity then $5-$10 dollars is most likely worth it. If the show is intended only to fatten the wallets of the local businesses and or the local CC's then they should pay us to bring our show to them. The votes you collect on your web site will show what the majority of your readrs think about price charged at OOB.
