Even if it is expensive, even if they made a billion pounds profit, what’s the issue? You want to do it or you don’t, if you begrudge people making a profit out of their effort and works I do hope you’re donating your salary in full every month to some worthwhile cause or working as an unpaid volunteer for one. I don’t see why anyone considers these things should be not for profit. We are not a charity that needs supporting by event organisers giving up their time for us to have fun.

Its a great event for folk to get together and an introduction for most wanting to race for their 1st time well try to for some ! … without these events the sport would become pretty boring and who cares if they make some profit ! they’ve put the time and effort into organising it.

Have fun !!

Seems reasonable to me. A lot of work must go into preparing the trails.

It’s not just a case of bung up a few arrows and laugh your way to the bank…

Think it seems alright given its £30 for a days skiing/boarding at one of the Scottish ski slopes so two days worth of riding at that price seems like a pretty good deal. Just the travel costs and 6-8 hour drive to get there means I’m giving it a miss as I can’t convince the missus to go to the lakes the week before for a hol to make it do-able

The fact it’s already sold out must mean it’s priced correctly

And just how much does a seat at a Premier League match cost?

I think SS events* are normally sub £50, 2 nights camping and 2 days riding aswell as the race, with the possibility of nightrides (official or otherwise)
Does seem a lot, bet they sell out anyway so from a marketing point of view obviously not overpriced.

I know ironmans are pricey but the local one is closed roads, multi site and all round just a massive event. Are all ironmans like this? But the disposable income of triathletes and those doing it for one time only (and therefore willing to pay more) probably have an influence

* the only events I regularly do
