Stampede = Money Grab....
think about that the next time you line up to pay 20 bucks just to enter a bar and then pay 7 - 8 dollars for a freakin domestic beer. That reality hit me again on the Ranchmans Patio at about 12:35 pm friday.
On the Stampede grounds its just as bad...
On average a ride is 5 dollars or credits a shot for a ride that lasts 30 seconds if you are lucky.
I had my kids down there yesterday for family day. Even after getting in before 9 for free I still spent about 300 dollars on rides, food and stuff.
I am not cheap but I do like to get a little better value and quality for my money.
This week I'll only be going to sponsored events from some of our vendors.
A couple of hours a day and then back to work.
Most years I avoid the grounds all together.
