What would you want and pay for in an event like the Rallye Raid?

It started 5 years ago as the KTM Rallye Raid, and 2 years ago opened to all brands. The event is basically an offroad long weekend with three routes (tough, medium and easier) catering for DS bikes. The riding venues are SPECTACULAR.

Since 2007, the rides have become more technical over the years. The event venue has ranged from War Trail in the Lesotho foothills to Thomas River, and Catberg area. It costs around R3k to attend, for which you get food, rides, entertainment (not this year) and an opportunity to mingle with riding legends (also not this year)

What do you think the future of this sort of event holds, and what are your thoughts on cost, venue, expectations, entertainment, riding terrain, etcv etc.

I ask this because numbers have steadily dropped from around 300 (?) to just 127 this year.
