The problem with advertising PART of your event as two day is that it creates confusion but if you don't believe that lets use simple arithmetic. You are saying to all of us that decreasing the public admission period by 33% will have a better effect than having more days open to the public. The person who believes this statement has no idea how marketing works. More business days always equals more revenue. Ask most any retailer
What you and those who believe that the York show is a business fail to understand is that the primary purpose of the York train show is not for the Eastern Division to make money. Yes it is important that the commercial dealers take in enough money to make attending the show worth while. And the Eastern Division has to make enough money to meet the organization's expenses. But the Eastern Division is not paying dividends to it's shareholders (member).
The primary purpose of the show is to put on a train meet for the pleasure of TCA members.
Regarding more days means more business:
Doesn't that mean that more hours means more business too?
Why isn't Macy's and Best Buy open 24 hours a day?
