[QUOTE="LordEntrails, post: 7280346, member: 6804070"] I think your concept is good. I'd be comfortable pay $20 for a well run 5 hour session if I needed to and the space was beneficial and comfortable (which yours seems to be). I would be more comfortable paying your existing ticket prices and then adding to that with mini transactions' like snacks, book/mini/tool rental fees or other things. I think part of it is ticket shock, and why I suggest more smaller payments, though then at some point people feel nickeled and dimed to death. If I played at an FLGS or club like yours, I would also consider a monthly subscription model (would need to be automatically recurring on my charge card or your overhead would be too high). As for those that complain about the ticket price, I suggest you make up a poster or flyer that lists competing entertainment costs like you did in a previous post. Something like: "For $8 you can by a movie ticket for a 2 hour movie, or play here for 5 hours." "To hang with your friends at a cafe for 5 hours you'll likely spend $##" Add pictures to them, of people hanging out and playing (get releases if you take them at your store). Personalize it, not only the experience, but the space. Help people understand the value they are getting. You might even go so far as even list some of your expenses... like "rent last month was $### and we had ### players" Also make sure people understand what they get for their ticket (free loaner [/QUOTE]
