To date, I have seen the following 2 events among several blow out heavily discounted entries:
100th Bay to Breakers 12k
 |
| 100th Bay to Breakers entries were blown out at 50% off. |
2nd Oakland Marathon Events
 |
| Oakland Marathon entries were blown out at 47% off with an option to downgrade to the Half Marathon event. |
For events which have a history of poor reg. #'s, why bother to pay full price next time around or ever again?
This is quite paradoxical. Some race events are advertising they are getting "sold out". While some like B2B (which is historically popular) is offering deep discounts. For some folks who registered for both events at full price, I'm thinking of waiting for 'deals' and not registering early. If the event gets sold out without a deal, good for the organizers.
ReplyDelete@Mohan - B2B usually don't sell out...at least not for several years now that I've been participating.
ReplyDeleteIt's an event that many people show up as bandits.
