    Yes, thwy all seem to have huge costs but end up being poorly run and staff and performers paid a pittance. Its a pity that it can’t be more casual, where entry is at your risk and people are just sensible. However, that’s no longer the world we live in. Careless dicjheads ruin it for everyone.
