But then we see that tickets are $20 each. We weren't sure if we might like dropping all that money just to see a few buildings that we can already see parts of anyway. We considered that we would be glad to support the mission of the Foundation, seeing as how we don't appreciate enterprises like Gator Haters coming downtown and screwing with the scenery. However, we're not sure the tour is worth $40 to us. I now get the feeling that this Foundation is either composed of people just from the affluent segment of the community to which $20 just seems like a normal price for something like lunch, or else the Foundation is aiming this event at a small segment of the community. Either way, I certainly feel excluded. This is a self-guided tour, not a concert or something. Local heritage is something that the wider community should be encouraged to appreciate.

Depends on how you see this particular event. My guess would be that the ACHF sees it as a fundraiser and has determined that $20 is an appropriate cost.
That said, it does preclude a lot of people -- like impoverished college students, casual fans, etc. -- from receiving the education that the tour would provide.
