all in all the reason stuff like this pisses me off is because year after year we have to put in more work and invest more money for less profit.

I get your point about the risk being moved down to us. Its all a marketquestion though. If the passes are not worth the money people will simply stop buying/renewing them. As a result prices will go down. I am not buying all passes. Some I know on forehand that will not be profitable for me and some I buy, test and see they are not profitable. When it balances down I get more traffic then I used to and the extra sales greatly cover the expenses of the submitpasses I have. We take the risk and pay extra. We also get the extra profit though if we make the right decisions.
