I must have missed the memo. DAZN is a streaming service and has nothing to do with production, scheduling or hotels, no?and the $144 in resort fees isn't in the total. Thank you DAZN!
They’re the alternative to all those costs of attending in person.I must have missed the memo. DAZN is a streaming service and has nothing to do with production, scheduling or hotels, no?
No they weren’t. I had looked up CSI’s events and even commented earlier in this thread that it was nice that CSI’s two pro events in Vegas were just prior to the US Open. And CSI announced their partnership with Predator in the US Pro Billiard Tour, and those events and dates were all announced and don’t conflict with Matchroom’s events. They’re not even on Griff’s website, where they’re presumably going to be held. It’s hard to complain that Matchroom did anything wrong by holding their event on a clear calendar weekend, and then later told that someone else was thinking about those dates.Huh? Were these events even listed on your own website? https://www.playcsipool.com/events.html
Exactly- I thought that was obvious and Bob Kinda explained it and still missed it. And the resort fee was in the total. It wasn't in the total on the Hotel site though im fairly certain. My bad.They’re the alternative to all those costs of attending in person.
In defense of Southern Indiana... You can get to the far side of Louisville from the Horseshoe in 30 minutes.Where can you go then? The Waffle House? (About the DCC)
That is great if time is on your side and you are a spectator.In defense of Southern Indiana... You can get to the far side of Louisville from the Horseshoe in 30 minutes.
And there are (or were before the Covid and maybe they still exist) several pretty good restaurants just past the Waffle House.
The Exchange Bank is where all the best billiard magazine editors eat when in town. Open until midnight on weekends. Here's their Asian soup. I'm not sure whether Waffle House serves this or not.

And here is a pork chop if you're after comfort food.

Of course you have to have a car, but then I would never go to DCC again without one. You can save enough money not dealing with the Horseshoe that the car is free, and you can visit the local wineries. Yes, even in Southern Indiana.
I gotta call BS on the "just trying to support their families and survive," thing. All of the strip hotels are owned by corporations, which means operating executives that answer to a board of directors that in turn answers to major stockholders who want a maximum return on their investment. No mom and pop operations there.They have no choice. They have to charge the exuberant fees. They are passing the cost of high taxes, levies, and utilities onto the consumer. They are just trying to support their families and survive.
And it is fewer and fewer corporations owning all the hotels/casinos. The prices are not high because the CEO wants his family to have something besides mac-and-cheese on Sunday.... All of the strip hotels are owned by corporations, which means operating executives that answer to a board of directors that in turn answers to major stockholders who want a maximum return on their investment.

Yeah, that's a side of it. But how much are they paying their employees? Everything is high dollar in that area. You dont think those hotel employees are working for $10 an hour, do you?I gotta call BS on the "just trying to support their families and survive," thing.

It may or may not be that the taxes, levies and utilities are to blame for the high prices, or it could be a number of other factors, including corporate desire for maximum profits as mentioned above. Either way, the end result is a reduced quality of experience for the visitors, and that was the point of the post you responded to.

I was as concerned as you, so I called Matchroom in England last Friday, and they then estimated tickets would go on sale in two weeks, corresponding to about July 30.Has anyone found a link to purchase spectator tickets? I'm striking out.
Thanks for any help.
That's BS, either it's open or it's not.According to the player agreement all players MUST stay at Harrah's unless they live within the immediate vicinity.
Not for sale yet afaik.Can someone share a link for purchasing tickets for this US Open 9 ball event in AC? Can't seem to find it in here and Google doesn't seem to know. And maybe they're not available yet?
