RE The really big issue with AGA2K4

["S. Hieber" <shieber@yahoo.com>]

Okay folks,

Here's the thing. It looks like the best deal formthe
hotels is going to be $89/night. Rick is gong into battle
with these folks day after next.

Let's suppose the hotel is $89 -- what do you think is a
reasonable registration fee?

The proposal says $69 and shows a pretty good net return
with 100 paid regs. At $69 the breakeven is about 65-70
paid regs. At $59, the breakeven is about 70-75. At $49
it's about 80-85.

$69 is a good number, it seems, like a conservative pricing
 -- if we don't have a total disaster -- 10 feet of snow,
bombs, etc., we don't need a high number of people to break
even. But without disasters, we should be able to draw 100
easy with Amano, don't you think?

I haven't been to enough of these things to know how
sensistive folks are going to be to $89 for a hotel room
and a registration fee of $49, $59, $69.

Do any of you have a sense about the demand?  It seems to
me, if the Hotel is going to cost $89/night, we need a
lower reg fee than $69.  Rick is wondering if we have any
input to offer re this.

Before I crunch these numbers again, I'd be happy to hear
any thoughts you folks have about the pricing -- any at
all.
