For premium venues that cost significantly more than we currently visit, we will be charging a £10 entry fee per competitor to cover our increased costs - this is so that we can offer a premium product with better catering and bar facilities and higher quality arenas and premises. This also helps cover our travel costs for staff who stay in hotels to put these events on around the UK.
