Since the first Atlanta Super Nit in 2005 the gate fees have been as followed: 7 per day for 16 and up 5.00 for 6-15 and 5u free. We wanted this year to get away from charging kids all together. This was the reason for the change this year. However, with the economic times as they are and after further negotiations the Georgia State Office has lowered the gate fee from 10.00 per person to 8.00 w/ children 15 and under still free. Senior citizen discounts still apply. Hope everyone understands and let's get ready for some great baseball and hope for no rain on Sunday!!!!

| Kids should always be free and the gate is still too expensive. This event is no better than any other in metro Atl. We're going because the team is not because its anything special. Next year we'll go to few if any USSSA events. They're not worth it. |

86% approval rating Bubba. (6 out of 7).
I hope it works out to be a great tournament. There are a lot of teams playing, which is a very good maker of a great tournament.

It's your choice where you play, but come on, no better than "any" other event in Metro Atlanta. |

| You can satisfy some of the people some of the time but you can not satisfy all the people all the time. Lowering the gate fee will more than pay for itself in the long run. Good job Bubba. |

| That is a $1 savings from the previous amount. Before it was $5 for Friday and $10 for Sat. and Sun. That totals $25 for the three days. Now it is $24 for the three days. |

kbuck,
I took that to mean they were going to keep Friday night at $5 per person but were reducing the Sat and Sunday entry fee from $10 to $8. That would be a $4 reduction.
I am glad they have the "15 and under free" instead of "10 and under free" like a lot of tournaments. If you are older than 15, you should pay because you are old enough to stay home by yourself and have other options. However at 11-13, that is not the case. |

What "is" this tournament? Over 300+ teams planning and the highest gate fees of the season? I am thankful for the lower fee but it is still too high. typical tournament has what 20 - 30 teams? A $ 5 fee is the norm. This event has 10 - 15 times more teams and so the number of people attend should 10 - 15 times the average size event. The gate fee is $3 bucks more. (60 % more than average) Economy of scale tells me the cost is not going to be 10/15 times as much as a normal tournament. I know every one is out to make a buck but just a many of us are trying to save one too. just my 2 cents |

| We played at the Super NIT at East Cobb this weekend and my told me they charged my 8 year old son $3.00 to get in. Whats up with that. These kids dont care about being there and you get your money back at the concession stands just to make them happy for the day. I thought kids under 12 always got free. |

| I have a question about the gate fees.....I understand that it's $5 on Friday & $8 on Saturday & Sunday, but what if we go to other parks that our team is not playing at to watch another team/age group. Would we have to pay another gate fee at another park......is it one fee per day period, or is it one fee per day per park? |

| 1 fee per day. Iam assuming that is the way done in past. Could get kinda pricy if you had to pplay at 2 different parks once bracket play begins sat night for most. |
