[QUOTE="GoldFinger1969, post: 3896737, member: 73489"][B]You know, the show promoters need to tell the dealers to NOT leave too early. [/B] If a show lasts through Sunday, you really shouldn't be packing up until that day, maybe early afternoon. Our club hosts a huge 2-day weekend expo and we have/had the same problem with people wanting to get a jump on the Sunday departure by packing up a bit early. Now, this is the 2nd of a 2-day event so it's different and we charge admission, so we definitely don't want people paying for a Sunday-only ticket (or even a 2-day) and seeing 1/3rd of the vendors starting to pack up at 1 PM on Sunday. It's tricky, but it hurts other vendors and the overall show if this happens too much. I understand that when you have already spent 2 full days at the show that maybe Day 3 you have made most or all of your major sales and want to get a jump on departure either that day or Sunday. But it's also the 1st day of the weekend and lots of people can't come to shows on Thursday or Friday (if it's a 4-day event) or the Friday before a 3-day event (Friday-Sunday). The quarterly shows in the NYC area I have gone to they MIGHT pack up late-Saturday (no admission charged here).[/QUOTE]
