Message: <blockquote data-quote="Beginning of the End" data-source="post: 5601804" data-attributes="member: 55271">You're comparing apples and fire hydrants.The $8 I pay for a movie ticket pays for both the seat I'm sitting in and the movie itself.The $5 I'm paying to the game store is paying for the seat I'm sitting in and... nothing else.I'm not saying the fee is unreasonable or that there might not be reasons to pay it. But the experiences I'm paying for are so disparate here (on the one hand, I'm primarily paying to be shown a movie; in the other I'm renting physical space) that comparing the two head-to-head like that is both pointless and misleading.Realistically, if you're talking about 6-8 people, the $30-$40 fee is steep. You could get much better accommodations than a table in a public space for a comparable amount of money.Now, if the game store were actually value-adding to the table with that fee (much like the movie theater value-adding the seat by showing me a movie while I'm sitting there), it might be a different story: Making a stock of miniatures and/or terrain available. That sort of thing.</blockquote>
