PSP Prices Rise Again

Prices for this year's PSP events are rising faster than gasoline. In 2006, admission for spectators was free and it only cost $100 to get a media pass to film inside the nets. Registration for teams weren't nearly as high as they are now.

Tickets are $15 each day or $50 for the event.

Another interesting statistic: It costs paintball vendors $80,000 PER EVENT to sell their paint to players.

Another one: Two years ago I got my very first press pass for free from Keely Watson. The next year (last year), it cost me $100. This year it jumped to $1200 PER EVENT.

I don't mean to discredit Lane Wright (owner) or the PSP events in general; But I can't help but wonder how the paintball community will respond to the unsteady increase in prices for admission, registration, and press.
