I disagree. There are 8 boys entered this year. Not too many people were aware of the class entries. Next year, there could easily be 16 boys entered. Major.
I was planning to go as a spectator this year. Changed my mind when I saw the ticket prices!!
When I went a few years ago I did General Admission and paid $75 for full entry both days - was able to watch any and all breed judging each day and watch Groups at night (not reserved seating but that was ok).
Now it is $25 each day to go to the Piers for breed judging plus over $40 each night (reserved seating only) to watch Groups - no thank you. I will save my money for another time! Too bad - I was really excited about going.
