Venues and Locations

[ccgmacc69]

Is there a reason why that the hiring costs for venues are disproportionate? For example, you can have a venue that seats 35,000 with a hiring cost of $300 and another venue that seats 2000 that cost $3000?

You are confusing an area and a venue. There's now area "venues" that range from 300 seats to 35.000 and will cost accordingly.
