Victor Broccoli should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Well, one of the main things that Tony George promised to do was to keep the prices down for the US GP. Granted, you won't get the kind of deal you got at the CART race, but it won't be nearly as ridiculous as the one you recieved in Belgium.

This has to do w/ the fact that the US fans in particular demand value. For example, I went to the Dover race (1st one) this year for NASCAR. For only about $30, I had a seat in the middle of Turn 3&4, with a complete view of the track. And, like the CART race (I've been to one), the souveniers were also reasonably priced.

Still, when it comes to price, Bernie and Co. have a long way before they catch CART and NASCAR. The US, in particular, demands a lot for very little. If you're not prepared to give that...then they're not prepared to spend their hard-earned cash.
