One reason the Seattle show posted record ticket sales is that two
previous shows where combined into a single event (for the second year
in a row). The comparisons are being made between the combined shows
and the old records for the indoor show only.


And the main reason is a good economy.

Folks don't buy expensive toys when money is tight and the future is bleak,
even when interest rates are low. ;-)
