The issue is Airsofters in Ontario think that $25 is "too much to pay"
If they don't get Free BBs and a hot dog they feel "ripped off"
If you look as the costs for some of the top end games in the US $100 to $150 to get in is not uncommon for a weekend op.
But for the majority of Kraken toting mag ticklers $20 is a stretch.. it seriously cuts into their weed budget.

While I don't doubt there's a good chunk of people in the group you describe, I also know several in the group I described. I have nothing against paying $100 for a game if I think the cost is worth it. I was at the first border wars game, and based on the experience I had there and what I heard from quite a few people at the second, I didn't think the asking price for the third was worth it.
I've also been to other milsim games that I payed $65+ for, and based on the experience I had there, if the hosts decided to bump the cost to $100 or $125, I'd go.
Just because some of us don't think a game is worth the cost doesn't make us cheap asses.
Now, having said that, I never committed to the game, never said "yay I'll come" and pulled out, I was no go from the beginning.
