Rather than include food, booze, and shwag in the ticket price, I would prefer to pay $10 and buy my own food and drinks. From the pictures I've seen though, it looks like an awesome party.

What you are missing is that for your $100 you get 20 cigars that all retail for $5 or more AND all the food and booze.

Last year there were 2 new releases we got before anyone else. And several smokes that were out but htf in Texas. Now if they didn't do that I could agree with your sentiment.
