Is this gouging or what?
I'm a little upset with my city today. We get a lot of revenue from tourism. We welcome all visitors. Does this sound excessive to you. Send them a note, tell them what you think http://www.cbc...

Almost all special events have out of sight prices for lodging, food, camping & fuel...go to Sturgis, SD for bike week...$50 per night for tent camping, a $30 motel goes for over $200 a night...if you can't afford it, go someplace else for the week

The sporting events I go to charge whatever they want for RV parking. I've paid $100 per night for nothing more than a spot on asphalt in a parking lot with no hookups.
Special events entail MANY people working to make it happen. And make it happen for a specific amount of days and special insurance costs, etc.
UNLIKE a CG that is a CG everyday of the week 365 days a year and does not have the overhead costs involved.
That kind of reasoning doesn't make any of those prices not gouging. It's just that they have an "excuse" for gouging. Some states used to have a statute that limited the amount you could raise prices for an event.
