If my understanding is correct you may not save any money on stuff after you pay to get inside.

They were free back in the old days. The entry fee turned me off immediately.

Maybe you didn’t read close enough Mr. B.  I’d buy 50 of them at that price.

I get it. Should have had my specks on. I thought the world was coming to and end. Stella's for 50 bucks. Sign me up.

Entry fees keep the Riff Raff out.  Tweakers can't ante up to come in and pick your pockets.

Zoo's are taking the same approach.

I don't care if they are giving reels away. There is no way that I go anywhere near this place during that event.

Don't like crowds much anymore.  Get a little anxious which is not how I used to be.  So I'll avoid it even if I do like the place and the seminars sound cool.

Ditto that..

Im going to try to go early the first morning. Parking will probably be an issue they were sitting up tents in front of the store that tool up most of the parking lots, huge tents

Springfield is actually closing Campbell down to traffic from Sunshine south to a small side street located South of BP.  No parking at BP itself and you'll have to ride some kind of shuttle buses from off-site parking to their pay-to-attend event.

Most likely wasn't going to go, but hearing that, not going for sure.

Looks like I screwed up, got an order to pickup at store that's taking longer than expected to come in. Hope it gets here in the next few days. No way am I paying to enter BPS, unless they are giving Stella's away.

I guess im probably out then. Sounds like a nightmare.  Has anyone even seen a flyer or anything advertising any deals on stuff. I would be pissed if i went through all that for a bargain bin full of XPS Cranks

The online ad just mentioned that there would be stuff on sale, but didn't mention anything specific.
