Was there a decal sheet included?
If you entered a model you got a packet that had a 1/48 decal sheet along with a few other goodies.

$20 for general admission is double the going rate for multi - day model shows in the US.
A venue of this size costs $25,000 or more. The going rate for vendor tables is $10 a foot - $80 per 8 foot table, and vendors will tell you to go screw if you charge any higher.
I don’t know their economic model but they have to at least break even.
I know this because I run a multi day model show in the US.

Yes Lou I run Armorcon. Thanks for attending all those years. I know Armorcon is much smaller than IPMS Nats, but I know hotel prices and the logistics are the same. $20 is too high. The closest show to you is Mosquitocon.
