	As with #8 below, many commented they didn’t want most of their time spent at a table waiting for food; preferred to eat at their own leisure and be freer to move about to socialize with others.
8.	Bar: Order by preference (1=highest), or place an “X” next to all that apply.
	1	Cash Bar (avg. $6/drink)								3		Open Bar 1st hour only (ave. $11 pp extra)
	2	Open Bar Beer & Wine 4 hours (ave. range $25-$33 pp extra)										Open Bar Name Brand 4 hours (ave. $40 pp extra)
	More comments on this category than any other! Several who don’t drink commented that they wouldn’t want to pay an additional $10-$40/ticket for people that do. Even many who do drink were opposed to open bar, commenting that in their experience with open bar, the bar gets too crowded; too much time spent waiting for a drink with bartenders too backed up; and the house wins. They felt they would get more for their money with a cash bar, and more time to spend socializing rather than spending it standing in long lines at the bar.
9.	Total Price/PP (Including meal, drinks, entertainment, etc.): Place an “X” next to all that are acceptable.
	5	$40 - $50	3			$50 - $60		2	$60 - $70							4	$70 - $80					1	$80 - $90
	The goal is to enable as many to attend the reunion as possible. The ticket price will reflect the collective responses to all the questions in the survey, to the extent possible. At the same time, we will try to keep the price as reasonable as possible to accommodate what most said would be acceptable.
