Card Show Admission....

I went to a local card show today to try to find some cards to complete my sets. Only one guy had vintage cards, and I did buy some. I was thinking about trying to go to a little bit bigger show, but still within 3 or so hours. I know of a couple coming up, one in IL and one in MO. The one in MO has a $5 admission fee. Is this normal. I remember going to shows with a $1 fee, which is fine, but it seems like $5 is a little high. It looks like there are going to be quite a few dealers there. Why is it that some charge, just curious. Thanks.

Just found the website for the one in MO, they have quite a few stars there for autographs, I guess that is why they have an admission fee.

I'm used to a $10 charge, or even $15 if you go for one day only...

The small local show where I live is a $1 fee.
