I just received an e mail about this show which is scheduled for this Saturday and Sunday (March 28 & 29) in Edison, NJ. Tickets at the door are an amazing $15 !!! For a relatively small show I thought this was a bit high. You are able to purchase tickets on line at half price (not bad). I was just taken back by the initial posted entry fee of $15.
What do you predict? Small attendance?

Best attended show we do - and we do a lot of them. An average WGH show draws between 20 and 30 thousand people over two days. Kids are free. I've said it before and I'll say it again - this is the show that really draws new blood into the hobby.
The place will be packed, guaranteed.
The Edison show is always packed. Get there late and you'll get great exercise walking from your car to the door. How much are movie tickets these days?
The WGT show draws a big crowd. Its more of a show for parents to bring their youngsters to watch the train layouts. The one I was at in Cincy was lacking in O Gauge sellers.
Went to the one they had in Hampton Va a few months ago, large crowds and lots to see, but needed more O scale stuff.
Please stop by and say hello to the Raritan Valley Hi-Railers (L-11 on your map). We're in the very back of the show and would like to meet some of you fellow forum members this weekend. Always open to new ideas from others and hope the place is packed!
