I volunteer at a railroad museum, and we're getting to host the Union Pacific 4014 steam locomotive in a few weeks. https://www.wplives.org/news_items/2024_Union_Pacific_Big_Boy_4014.html

They priced the bloody special event admission tickets at $20 for the day, and they're ecstatic that they've already sold 900 tickets online.

Please, for the love of god, reply to this toot with what you think the appropriate admission price should be for this event. Some of the board members are already complaining about $20/person being too expensive for getting to see the freaking UP 4014.

@kwf Yeah that seems a tad on the cheap side for the US. I’m used to paying almost that much for a “regular” steam day at a railway museum in Europe. I’d expect more in the US or for a (genuinely) special event. Especially if you structure your pricing such that families with kids don’t get fleeced.
