I was looking at the "host hotel" that WNT listed on their invitation for hotel rates.
The sky is falling. The sky is falling.
Yeah well, if you are always flying business, it's hard to move down the aisle towards the cattle department.
If you have a few grand extra to invest, no problem. Personally I have always flown economy and admitted the quality has gone down and the seat gaps getting smaller (being 6'6") but it is compensated in the price of the flight.
If it's worth two to four thousand to you to be slightly more comfortable for ten hours, then that's the ticket. I'm properly sized for airline seats and I'll sleep for most of the flight. The last time I flew to London for the Mosconi Cup, I had a whole row to myself in cattle class so I could lie down.
I shared the invitation to add some levity to our discussion forum. Of course, I am not going to compete in the WNT event, much less fly to Sarajevo. I did, though, share some thoughts about how expensive it is to fly around the world as a "regular" WNT pro player. Quite expensive, in my opinion, of course, to do this on a regular basis.If it's worth two to four thousand to you to be slightly more comfortable for ten hours, then that's the ticket.

The entry fee is $250. You are required to stay at the host hotel, which I think is about $130/night. Unless you live in B-H, you will have to travel. For most people, the entry fee is more or less irrelevant compared to the other expenses.
Exactly. The entry fee for Predator Las Vegas Open is somewhere around $300 but that’s nothing compared to the cost of staying in Rio for a week or even more if you want to sweat the other events as well.
Since I wasn't doing much that week, I've decided to enter. For the record, the following are my expenses so far:Yes, I did. Still considering it.
