I'm doing 5 events and spent $150 give or take a few bucks for comparison's sake. Yeah it's all access but Trade, Story, Treehouse, Steam, Cafeina, SLS, etc are not part of the "all-access."
They used to include open bar with the F-U bands. NOW that is a good deal! The alcohol is what gets you. They figure you're gonna be using the shit out of the band (to get what you think is value for the $600 you spent on it) so you're bouncing around to these venues day and night for 5 straight days. That's 5 days of non-stop ordering drinks and shit from the bar. The $600 turns into $2600 real fast! These club operators know what the fuck they're doing when it comes to making money. Hook them with a "value-priced" F-U band and they're gonna be spending all their disposable WMC income on liquor at clubs/hotels that we own or have business dealings with.
Just the thought alone makes me feel like I'm in the middle of the worst post-WMC hangover mankind has ever known.
