As with others, its the weekend for me - work and holiday commitments prohibit a weekday attendence. As to the cost, I suspect that it is priced that way to encourage weekday attendance rather than anything else. I would also agree with others that it is a bit too expensive - I managed to run a two day event at £10 per head for 20 people.
I agree that the weekend price isn't ideal (I voted weekday myself!), but that's the lowest the GW manager can justify charging to have four of his 6x4 tables out of commission on one of his (Normally) busiest gaming days.
For the weekday price, yeah, I think that's just about justifying the cost of the prizes, and frankly the GW manager would really like to hold it on the same weekday (Wednesday) as the 16+ games club evening, in order to attract a few locals into starting Epic, as the tourney would be wrapping up about the same time as the games evening would be starting (And perhaps a few Epic players might stick around afterwards to game informally and impress the locals even more with their wit and charm).
So yeah, a weekday is preferred by the GW manager, despite the extra cash a weekend event would bring in, both because it would cause less disruption to the weekend events schedule, and because it would be a great showcase to help nurture a new Epic community at the store.
