USBC booths way overpriced
« on: July 14, 2009, 01:47:39 AM »
I have a friend that ran a booth not even the K&K booth which is much bigger than his tell me the fee was 200k this year.

So where the he11 is all of this money at???? Why is this pathetic organization so broke???

Probably so they can give jobs to more of there friends on our dues and tournament fees.

I heard fees were high, but I had no idea how much.

What does it cost the USBC to rent a convention center?  If they are charging the bowling vendors $200k+, then it must be expensive.

There is no rent.  One of the requirements to get the tournament is to provide an arena free.  Also, it probably takes about a $1,000,000 cash kick-in to win a bid.

$200k is way off. It's not that much for a bowling ball booth. Maybe the photo or souvenier stands are more....
