Cavallino Classic concorso entrance fee has doubled 200$!!!

Then there would be those of us that judge. We pay for travel, hotel, rental car, meals and all we get is a free lunch. And we come from as far as Europe, UK and Hawaii.

 

Last year, at $100 per, the place was so busy they literally had a 5 year old augmenting the credit card swiping crew for collecting the entrance fee. So $200 is not surprising.

I suggest going early for the most enjoyment. Or better yet, stay at the Breakers if there's still room.

BTW, someone did try a competing event (more exotic car) for the same weekend in the past (thread or two already).

 

wow!

 

ticket price is confirmed.

 

They can charge whatever the market will support, but at $400 for my wife and me it just isn't worth it. You'd think they would offer their subscribers or advance purchasers some kind of discount.

 

In addition, the point level for a platinum award is now 97 versus 95 last year.

 

My limit was $75. I guess I won't be going any more.....

 

As long as they can pack the place, the price will not go down. When/if attendance has a significant fall off, look for the fee to be adjusted.

That's ridiculous I'd rather they just say hey it's a private club for the people who are showing their cars and be done with it, the best show in Florida anyway is in Naples in February just wait for that.

 

That is ridiculous.

Google Cars on Fifth.
It's a great show but very limited on vintage Ferraris.

 

As far as I know Cavallino is not a sponsor. Barton was shilling a paid event he works for, which is a no-no. If you work for a paid event and you're not a sponsor it is against Ferrarichat TOS. If you're a regular member speaking about an event you know and attend--paid or not--it is acceptable here.

 

A $200 entrance fee is also a good way to ensure working class enthusiasts can no longer attend. It will now be a show for a select few relatively well off individuals with higher exclusivity. Maybe that's what they wanted or maybe it's a by-product of some other need to raise the fee. Either way, I should have gone several years ago when it was only $50. I'm sure it's a fun event with an amazing assortment of Ferraris.

I will show up at 4 when the cars start to leave and watch for free.lol 200$ dollars a person and 50$ for parking is not for me,I thought 100 dollars last year was much but 200$ that's crazy.

 

It's a high society affair, no doubt about it. Always has been, but just more so now.

Also, last year was the first time that I couldn't park on the premises. And I was driving a Ferrari.

 

a couple of weeks ago I booked two nights at the breakers for the event. Price was considerably less through the cavallino website/link than by just going to the breakers site FWIW.

But now @200/per entry, I'm seriously rethinking the whole event...bummer

 

Properly reward? No one pays. Not Pebble....no one.
