The Maloof family has not gotten rich by giving away more money than they keep, and that’s probably why 3-day Professional Session VIP passes to “the world’s greatest skateboarding competition” The Maloof Money Cup cost $350 a pop.
If you want to sit and watch the contest (in a seat, in the grandstands) it’s going to cost you $65.45. The cheapest general admission tickets for the three day event are $32.30 (admission to the Orange County Fair is included).
Now, granted, this is a sporting event and sporting events are expensive to produce, especially when you’re giving away $500,000. But it’s funny how none of the stories in the skateboard media have mentioned how much the tickets were going to cost the kids.
