Every year the CIAA basketball
tournament is held in Charlotte, NC. The people have voted it will continue to
be held there for the next six years. The tournament is mainly focused on the
college basketball games, which usually began February 20th and end on the
25th. There are also many other events, for example they have concerts, step
shows, fashion shows and etc. Most of the family events began in the morning
and end around noon.
After the 25th is when all the
overrated activities began. I believe February 25th through the 28th is when
all the parties and celebrities come and perform. Thousands of people
arrive to Charlotte just to party and see all the celebrities.
Party entry fees vary from the range of $20
dollars - $150 dollars just to enter the party. Most parties won`t let you in
unless you are the of 21 and above. Club capacities vary 400 people to 4,000
people in one party. As all these people are here just to party many hotel are
booked. The booking for hotels are so extreme people may place their
reservations a year ahead.
Parking also is a big deal during this event.
Parking services and towing services make a lot of money. I believe parking
spots can cost up to $50 dollars a night and if your car is towed i believe
it`s $250 for the car to be giving back to you. I understand it`s a great
experience and lots of fun but is it actually worth all the money being
spent?
Sometimes experiences like that are the chances you have to take.Some people only get one chance so i see it as have fun while you can.on that note If you have the money go for it but if you know your struggling this shouldn't be on your priority list.
ReplyDeleteI think they are (to a point). I'm a geek. I'd happily spend that kind of money on the Mad Monster Party (that coincidentally is also happening in Charlotte), but I wouldn't spend that kind of money for basketball. I guess it's all about what you're really into.

I honestly feel this depends on your age to be honest. There is really no need to go if you are not 21 because there will not be much to do, but if you are willing to put that much money out then you probably will have a really good time.
ReplyDeleteI personally think it is worth the money. I mean if you are looking for a good time its going to cost you. The only issue I would have with this, is if I didn't plan ahead before hand with the hotel and parking services.
