Art Monk in Chantilly

Sorry for the misspelling...very embarassing!

Anyhow, I was referring to the Route 281 show. I am just speculating on the pricing of items at the show. Do you think they will be selling mini helmets for $25 (which is around what they usually cost) or do you think they will mark them up?

I would imagine they will have things priced on the higher end.. but still in the reasonable. I have seen some places sell mini helmets for as high as 35. I am sure you will see mark up, but I am also sure they will keep it in the reasonable range. I am also sure they will not let one person get 10 autographs... they are going to want to take care of all of the people who came out.

I am really hoping you are right for all of the fans sake. If not, can you imagine what it might be like? You have all of these fans come out and be told that an 8X10 picture of DG will be $80. I tried call the phone number on the 281 website, and got an automated answering service. Hopefully, they will list pricing on their website before the first tour stop. I will go regardless.

Neither Art or Darrell are stupid people. I cannot imagine they would attempt something like your afraid of. They will make sure their charity is priced lower than a price they give a show promoter.

I agree with you there. How much lower do you think they would go? I am thinking that the purpose of this whole thing is to generate funds for their foundations (very worthy causes). The entrance fee's will basically pay for the facility and operating costs of the event. So where does the money come from that goes to the foundations? The least expensive autograph you could get from either of them at a show would be $100. I thought the $75 was exactly what you stated...a lower price than they would give a show promoter.

I will be willing to bet you can buy a photo for 5-10 bucks... if they have those Redskin logo footballs, you could probably buy one of those for between 30-50. It will be interesting to see what the reports from people who go come back at.

I would be willing to bet at 25-35 a head to get in, there will be profit there alone. They will also be taking donations and raising the awareness of their charites. They will also have corporate sponsors who will cover most if not all of the actual expenses of the events to have their names associated with Art & Darrell.

My guess would be that the items they will have at the events will be the same "Route 281" merchandise that they have on the website. I kind of doubt they will have a panoply of memorabilia.
