They charge that much, cause thousands of fools are going to show up and gladly pay those prices.

Because people will pay. One of the reasons I don't go to those things.

Not a bad price when all considered. Wisconsin state park tent camping is $14 a night for non residents. Now, in WI you have to have a vehicle pass, per vehicle to enter the state park to camp there, cost is $35 annually. Hmm, 5 nights plus sticker is $105. Hog haven is having entertainment, and concession stands. Lets see, get up in the morning and walk to have some breakfast and my morning coffee, sounds alright. Oh, at the state campground when you come in around midnight or later that elderly couple next door is going to complain about your loud pipes to the ranger. The guy at hog haven next to you says, "nice sounding pipes, whatchya runnin". Hotels= $100 plus a night. Remember your ticket prices you paid did not include lodging. http://www.lakelenwood.com/&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; This is the closest advertised campground to Milwaukee and is $31 a night. Also note at the bottom of the page that quiet time is from 9:30pm to 8:00am. Somebody waking me up at 8:00am because I vibrated grandpas winnebago at midnight coming back from the rally might wind up with me getting tossed out of the park after I voice my opinion. Thanks, but I'll take the&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; conveniences of HOG Haven. .

I couldn't agree more.&nbsp\\; If I were going, I wouldn't balk at that price at all.&nbsp\\; I mean, attending an event such as this is a vacation.&nbsp\\; I don't know about you guys but I consider a cheap vacation for me&nbsp\\;to be&nbsp\\;in the&nbsp\\;$1000 range.&nbsp\\; Actually sounds like a deal to me considering what's included.
