This feels more like charging what they think they can rather than what they think they need. And that's fine, it's not a charity, they can do what they want, etc etc., but a 63% increase in one year is too much sticker shock for me, and almost feels like gouging.

All that said... from a web design/dev point of view, the new booking site is awkward, kind of ugly, and poorly laid out. The EventBright setup was much better. Hopefully this will improve with time, or go back to the old system
