[Organizers] Lower attendance this year?

[Donald Perley via Organizers]

Market flexibility is a factor here. When we went from $8 to sliding
scale (pay what you can, 5 to 10), our average per dancer went down,
but enough more attendance that the total gate went up and we were
able to raise the minimum for our bands.
