The $109 price tag also keeps the riff-raffs and cheapo's away from the
people who really want to be there to either learn something or just to
experience the show.
Look what the riff-raffs and cheapo's did at DCS 2004, they stole
cameras, parts off cars and purses. I am not saying they all do this
but it keeps them away.
