£15.00 for a day of entertainment is cheap, regardless of any potential added value in terms of a raffle win.
I go for game play / ranking points/ and to enjoy the fun community, swag isn't part of the equation.
Big two day events at the £40.00, it's nice to get poker chips or similar as a momento, but a huge bag of swag or raffle isn't necessary.
In all honesty I loathe the long raffle that drags out the day. By 5pm after a day of tough competition I want to pack up, say my goodbyes and go home.
If we have got to the point that ticket price and numbers have raised revenue so that TOs get a return on their time great.
