You have to stand in line for 2 hours to get tickets you paid for months ago to see your kid perform.

LOL this doesn't make you crazy at all!Sorry if it's been discussed. This was My reality this morning. I just can't believe they think that the kids running the booth can possibly distribute 1000s of tickets in any kind of timely manner. They were doing the best they could but come on... It's not realistic. We have a little thing called email and even heaven forbid snail mail that could have gotten this info to parents way ahead of time. Please Varsity? For next year?

That sounds like a ludicrous dream! We have problems, LOL.I always find it crazy that parents have to pay to get in to see their children compete. My younger cousin does competitive dance, and it's free to go watch her compete! That's the way it should be.

That's ridiculous! Now I'm thinking back to when I learned that Vivi's ugly bee costume on Dance Moms was $300....The competition fees for competitive dance are usually much higher than competitive cheer though, so cheer really pays less - it's not uncommon for a competitive dancer to be paying upwards of $500-$750 per competition just in entry fees (and don't get me started on how much more $costumes are). Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think w/ cheer even w/ crossover fees are maybe at the most $150 per comp for a regular comp?
Yeah - I never really get that upset over the admission fees at cheer comps cause overall it's so much cheaper than dance .
The thing that annoys me the most is the whole "cash only" thing - I never have cash on me regularly and it just adds another thing to do to an already busy day - and being in an unfamiliar city looking for an ATM that doesn't charge a fee is always a blast ;/.
My aunt definitely pays a lot for dance, but my cousin only does 4 competitions and doesn't travel. She's not highly competitive, I'm sure if her studio was a more competitive studio it would add up with all the registration fees.The competition fees for competitive dance are usually much higher than competitive cheer though, so cheer really pays less - it's not uncommon for a competitive dancer to be paying upwards of $500-$750 per competition just in entry fees (and don't get me started on how much more $costumes are).

In our area that would be true for a child dancing several solos, as there are fewer people to split entry fees, but I think those kids are rare. CP has danced for 9 years, so we are clued into what goes on in the local studios. Most competition dancers we know are in 4-5 numbers and average entry fees per competition are around $300 or so. They tend to only do 3-4 competitions a year though. Costumes can be pricey. Average is probably around $125 for a group costume, and solo costumes go about $200 or so for a custom made one, more if you do excessive stoning.The competition fees for competitive dance are usually much higher than competitive cheer though, so cheer really pays less - it's not uncommon for a competitive dancer to be paying upwards of $500-$750 per competition just in entry fees (and don't get me started on how much more $costumes are).

Normally dance comp fees are about $90
Per solo per comp, $75 per dancer per duo/trio per comp, $35-40 per dancer per group per comp. I'd say most competitive dancers do at least one solo and maybe about 5-6 groups per comp - but it's not uncommon for a serious comp dancer to be in about 10 groups, 2 duo/trios and 2 solos - so do the math on that one! - and that's per comp! Costumes can range from about $100 all the way up to ~$500 per dance, but on average they are usually around $200 for each dance.
Lol - see now how that free admission is really the least they can do? Haha.
