MarcW Posted August 19, 2016 Share So when the roadworks are no longer a factor, the price will come back down to earth again ? I think not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abercrombie Posted August 19, 2016 Share Thanks but no thanks.R12k for a team entry???I suppose on the bright side it gives David a reason to get face time on tv again to explain the increase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mongoose! Posted August 19, 2016 Share Greediness from mtb stage events finally blown over to road events all in the name of a money driven supply and demand ... Abercrombie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSCC Posted August 20, 2016 Share Did you guys read the article before reacting to the entry price? At R1,000 per team member the organizers are just covering costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malpiet Posted August 21, 2016 Share Well if the one tonner can go at R150 how can you justify a cost of R1000pp IMHO I dont need food served to me at the finish because iam a fussy eater anyway. Wannabe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malpiet Posted August 22, 2016 Share Which is most probably sponsored. (and not that great either... ) My main gripe is how do you justify a 55% increase in entry cost? as a % increase this is even above the EPIC!! yet you subjected to more neutral zones with crappy road conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pure Savage Posted August 22, 2016 Share The events problem is that it was giving riders more value than they were paying for in the past. At R1000 per person its in line with the ASG events we have taken part in and they use Racetec. <3 At least any money they make, 50% goes to a charity so not the end of the world. #CDC2016 Edited August 22, 2016 by Pure Savage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
