making the people who are putting the displays / cars in the show and as such actually making the show pay while spectators get to see it for free is a bit of a fail IMO

Well the competitors get a huge prize pool which is not there for the spectators.

All the major shows charge both the competitors & the spectators..

For us this is about building a large community and particularly making it a good day out for familes.

Entry fees are very cheap for cars.

[Bling]

Sounds like a good way to do it to me. Get a lot more spectators that way. Would go for a look if I was local Beats people paying to put their cars in AND charging people to spectate like normal. Good luck with the show.

[Mr Ree]

Personally, I would never pay to enter my car in a show.

A charity event for Canteen, or Westpac rescue helicopter on the other hand, I would be first in the queue.

[Bling]

Is your car show worthy then?

Maybe make a donation to one of those charities and turn up to this car show for free, win win.

[Mr Ree]

Ha, that depends on what side of the car you stand on

[Mr Ree]

Already done

If I wasnt at the other end of the country, I would be attending, for sure.
