Re the seating this year - I was not in top form when we visited the site in Colorado (we had just moved to VA and my knee was so bad I wasn't walking very well) so I don't remember exactly what it was like. However, I understand that there is lots of bleacher type seating which is free. The problem is for people like myself who can no longer do bleacher seating. I cannot manage the steps required for bleachers. Consequently, some seating needed to be developed for people and this is what the National chair came up with. The number of seats there is limited and therefore the higher price.
