Minnie I assume that you think weekenders will be cheaper if the pricing structure was changed in the manner you suggest.
However I don't think it will. I suspect the cost to Ceroc of laying on the classes, for instance, is relatively small. They use their own teachers and so the only major additional cost would the headline teachers and spread over 1500-2000 people, this would add very little to the individual cost.
Therefore it may result a price increase overall because
1 There may be less people willing to attend and so the loss of that revenue may need to be passed on
2 The additional administration required will have to be costed in
3 You would have to employ more DJ's
IMO and experience a big attraction for people attending weekenders to begin with is the availability of all the workshops. If this taken away they may not attend and so you are loosing the main source of new attendees. In time this may make these events uneconomic.
I have had a look at the Rhythm Riot website and their standard charge is £92 for an event pass which excludes accomodation and classes. The accommodation prices are anything from another £30 with 7 people in a two bedroom appartment to £78 for single occupancy. When you add the prices together they are more expensive that what Ceroc charge and you have the availablility of the workshops as well with Ceroc.
