Gary,
This is the first time in the last 5 years that I have not attended the BJ
in Scottsdale.  Each time it has not cost me a cent for entry.  Many tickets
are given to various organizations as promotional items.  My daughter has
gotten free tickets through the resorts she has worked for and that is my
source.  

High roller bidders also do not pay and enjoy many other perks like special
parking permits and of course special seating.

I don't know how much those guys pull in, but getting money from buyers,
sellers, vendors and the public, they have to be laughing all the way to the
bank.

Joe

Just got back from 4 hours at Barrett/Jackson sale in Scottsdale.  For wife
and me $50 basic entry fee got us into basically a tourist mall.  Anything
and
everything from furniture to jewelry although it did include auto
memoribilia.  Could not sit on chairs to watch the sale apparently  that
took
even more money.

 Did see loads of cars of all kinds but huge majority were
US muscle cars.  Didn't notice any triumphs, a few healeys and jags.  

Seems
to me they could be satisfied with vendor rental fee's and lower the prices
for basic entry.  It was one of the things on my bucket list but once is
enuf.
LOL
