@Prime,

Lets get the total cost of everything else before we worry too much about the TVs. Also, did you tell them this is for a non-profit event? Might get the manager to eat some of the cost. Ham it up a bit if you have to.

@ everyone,

I think the cost splitting idea isn't very good at all. It would become a pain in the butt to track who paid what, etc.

Then there's the "fairness" issue. I for instance, may play for 5-10 minutes, when others could spend the majority of their time on them. Why should I pay the same as they have, when I used the consoles/TVs a fraction of the time they have? We could do a "pay-per-hour" thing, but that's not only the biggest b*tch of all, as nobody (at least not me) would really want to keep track of it.

I'd like to think everyone would have better (and more enjoyable) things to do than sit there with a stopwatch, timing each individual player.
