There are so many things that will get table holders upset and loose more dealers. Higher table cost, which I believe you promoted, staying setup 2 hours longer, or the concession stand runs out of coffee. Bottom line is the EDTCA is trying something. If some of the dealers have a better idea maybe they should speak up if they haven't already.
I suggested raising the price of member tables and admission. (Don't know enough about dealer space costs). The cost of the tables /admission has to be a very small component of the cost to do the York train show.
It has been a very long time since I've seen an Eastern Division financial report. Without seeing one, I am going to guess that the personnel costs of putting on the show are rather high. Eliminating Thursday, and going back to a two day show would eliminate a day's worth of security costs. Perhaps other costs too. Maybe the show would be profitable again as a two day show.
As for the casual sellers in the dealer halls, they will have the option to move to the member halls if they don't want to stay until 4PM on Saturday.
How does that work with the PA tax number issue?
