I think that people will pay to enter an event but if they just want to hang out they can for free and the money goes towards prizes and wages. I think a pass for the whole day would make it harder to budget prizes, wages etc

There are some great ideas here.
Certainly a "preview time" (clocked as a total, to avoid cheating) would be required for locations charging an entrance fee. Throwing the odd free event there would not work. Due to the sudden arrivla of everyone want ing to check the place out, the population density on the floor (and therefor the lag) would not be an accurate reflection of the place. The only way the preview access would work, is if it gets spread out more evenly. Ten minutes a day (or whatever figures the owner decides on) seems a far better idea.
Pay to enter the contest... perhaps more appropriate for other situations, or even in addition to a (very modest) entrance fee. What other situations? People who occaisionally throw an event, perhaps at their homestead or some other location. Also very good for the "dumb" competitions, like sexiest-tattoo-thong-red-leather-ass contests, where many patrons may not give a dingo's kidney about the competition.
I also expect to see more prizes in the form of objects, rather than cash... as in RL, a designer gets advertising and promotion, in return for providing prizes for an event. I'd go along for a chance to win something I might otherwise have to save for a couple of weeks to afford!

From: Heather Nyak Hi i was just wondering if you would pay 50L to be at an event if the Prize money was 70% of the takings 20% to the host and 10% to the Owner of the Club.
E.G 20 people attend an event at 50L per person. So thats 700 prize 200 for the host and 100 for the owner. Sounds like a plan...an entrance fee for competitions. I already donate money to events...called Tringo. I love tringo , cause you can look pretty or look like a freak , be dressed the way you want , it's just all about placing your objects right  |

I voted yep, just because if the event is worth I would.
I use to put 500 to 1K in Bingo pots (now Tringo), because I liked the scocializing and thrill people get from winning the big ones. $L50 isn't too muck for something I enjoy.
The fallowing is cut from another post of mine from another thread...
IMHO a better solution to the over abundance of $L would be for SL to continue giving out the hosting credit as they are now, only require that funded events (minus educational ones) require an attendance fee. SL has enough data to know the average number of people that attend an event is. Set the total charged fee to be greater than the funding for events.
EI- 25 people on average attend a funded event
$L1000 is given as as the prize re-reimbursement (whatever, calm down its an example)
1000/25= 40, therefore the cost to attend a funded event is $L 50
If 20 or more people attend the the $50/attendee goes directly to Linden Labs., LL pays the host 1K (less than 20 people, no funding) and nothing is added to the economy. OMFG- funded events that don't add L$ to the economy!!! An event that 30 people attend absorbs $L500.
It goes on to say all that jaz about quality events. The host would be gambling that at least 20 people would show up, if fewer than 20 showed the host wouldn't get the total reimbursment.
