I typically attend, but the prices have become ridiculous when you consider you can see ATP 1000 level events for $50. Even looking at the upcoming Drommondville Challenger and you have tickets for $15-$30 into the weekend versus the $70-$100 in Calgary. What gives Calgary Challenger? You expect a larger city to have higher costs and somewhat higher ticket prices but 3-4x your other events?
It's unfortunate to see them take this from what was a family friendly, affordable event to something that is overpriced and not at all a value event in the city anymore. It's certainly not how you grow the game by having one community day to make the average price seem more reasonable.
