Seriously, I didn't mean to kick off a row, and I certainly have no problem with Ye Olde etc, but I really don't understand why people advertise but are reluctant to give a price when asked.
Merry Christmas to one and all.

People should see the quality of the place their going to spend their Christmas dinner with friends or family and then take that into account along with the cost.
Food, service and decor etc in YOBT is always value for money for me, but when you put a price on here everyone jumps on saying how they get it for 50 Baht less down such and such a place, as happened to me before, without even seeing the quality of the place.

I decided to do as Bill suggested and pop in to get the price. It wasn't a hassle and since I haven't been there before it gave me a chance to give the place the once over.
I don't drink, smoke and rarely eat 'falang' food these days, so I'm hardly a cheerleader for his kind of business, (beyond cleaning up his customers after their bingeing).
My first impression was very good and it sounds like the event will be well worth the entrance fee.
I was given a reason why prices have not yet been promulgated publicly, which suggests Bill is damned if he does and damned if he doesn't. Whatever the reasons for withholding, he still needs to get the word out about the event.
Why would any vendor deliberately annoy potential customers? We're all old enough and wise enough here, to see through marketing and PR BS. Spoke to a tenant I bumped into outside, staying in one of Bill's rooms, who couldn't praise it enough. Now that's real marketing!
I believe the bar will provide a nice combination of warmth and good cheer and they are certainly making an effort to set up the evening to be a big success. It won't be cheap but there's a phrase that Gucci coined when justifying his high prices and I may use for some of my high end offerings.. 'You are enjoying the quality long after you have forgotten the price' or the reverse... "The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten ..."
FWIW.
