Another reason why events are hard to sell out or attract a lot of people is that Dodge City is looked upon as a city of xx,ooo when in reality it is TWO citys of 1/2 of xx,ooo. Most events either draw from the caucasion crowd or the hispanic crowd but very few draw from both. Recently Garden City had a "ultimate fighting champion" type match going on in their arena. The guys were here heavily promoting their match by doing radio broadcasts here in Dodge City and such. The tickets for this thing were NOT cheap and it looked like they were headed towards selling out. I know it's hard to attract people from both crowds here but if that was possilbe it would be more likely to sell out.
