Dont be cheap you get a lot of free stuff at the expo that will make up for the $25.

Are you complaining about the price being too high or elated at the price bargain?

Yes, the days of free expos are well over. Its worth it if youre in to the  bodybuilding world.

Price is about average for expos... the MMA one in Vegas about a month and a half ago was $30-40 each.   Others run about the same. This is a pretty large expo, and the 50th anniversary.  It is expensive, even with sponsors and the booths for everything at the expo on the Convention Center. 

Now, if you bought the expo tickets before September 5, you could of also received a year's subscription to Flex and another one of AMIs magazines, which quite a few people did. 

See you there

What is it that you are paying for?

Are you just paying to get an opportunity to pay(again) bodybuilders and fitness chicks for autographs and photos?

Back when I used to go to the Olympia the Expo was free and it was just two big halls full of people selling supplements that didn't do shit for you.  You'd have to maneuver around a bunch of permabulking manlets that were walking around in tank tops flexing their imaginary lats.  You could occasionally meet some pros and for some inexplicable reason WWE Wrestlers used to be there a lot.  Sometimes whores would give you a free protein bar or a meal replacement but that was about it.  Big Lou had a Polaroid camera from the 70's and you could pay to have a tiny, fuzzy, fucked up picture taken with him.

Someone explain to me why I should pay to get into this thing.  How does it go down in the current expo?  I'm serious.

My take on it will be looking at hot pieces of tail bouncing around in spandex getting tons of free swag but the downside would be tons of jerkoffs in your way starring at each other bis..

Yeah.  With the exception of the 1995 NPC Jr Nationals (or was it Jr USAs??), I've never scored enough free shit to justify that kind of daily nut.

At $25 per day, I see a large portion of people avoiding the expo, or perhaps only going just one day.  I wonder if there a tally on the attendance of the Mr O and Arnold?  The attendance for these shows has to be going down with the way the economy is going.
