I’ve been a venue owner for the past seven years, opening it because our community had no proper space to gather, just someone’s basement apartment. Over these seven years, the total cost of running the venue has exceeded $300,000, not including insurance and other fees.
To keep the venue alive, we’ve had to increase the venue fee from $5 CAD to $10 CAD, and eventually to $15 CAD, while also relying on Patreon contributions to ease the burden for our regulars. I’ve personally spent thousands of dollars from my own savings to keep the doors open.
The only reason we’re still here is because of the incredible support from everyone ♥️
So support your locals !
IMO, you sound like a player who attends offline, compete, lose immediately and then just leave. That's just my take.
I'm sure you are probably looking at this at your own financial angle. That's fine. Don't look at the $10 as venue fee. Think of it as being able to play the game in a local setting with gamers that share the same game as you for a few hours. The goal of locals is not just to compete but also to conglomerate. Make friends/rivals. Get better. No one is holding you to enter the tournament. You can easily save $5 if $15 is too much. I'm sure most of your local spots have casual setups too. You can do that all night.
Please note the following. Hobbies cost money. Most important. TOs don't make any $. And even if we do, we earned it for the amount of setup, work, run brackets, stream, carry equipment, etc... it is a thankless job but we do it for passion of it all.
WE DONT want to take $10 venue but we have to pay bills of running locals. $5 to enter the tournament is optional.
Overall. Don't make us TOs sound greedy for asking you to pay venue fees. As you probably noticed, everything is expensive now. It's either we stop locals or we charge you what we use to pay the venue/staff/equipment.
P.S. if the financials are an issue, I'm sure there are online tournaments you can enter that won't cost you any money.
