"Stripperfest 8": Value Investment or Value Trap?

On the Border in Wisconsin will host Stripperfest 8 in September. Supposedly 500 dancers from throughout the Midwest will be seeking $10k in prize money. Contests will be held for Queen of the Stage and Queen of the Pole. Admission will be $15. Doors open at 6pm. Contests run from 8pm to midnight. On the Border, though nicely furnished, is a mid-sized club. Parking is plentiful on a normal Saturday night.

According to the doorman, Stripperfest 7 was packed to the point the crowd mass was within a foot or two of his desk. Obviously that leaves few places to sit, an epic struggle for the waitresses, and a whole lot of gals hustling for dances (and probably complaining about how poor their night is going!) Further, the 500 dancers alone would easily fill one-half of the club by themselves, maybe more. Parking would be nonexistent unless attendees arrive four per vehicle. Yet the club has put on 7 Stripperfests previously....?

So, attending Stripperfest 8: Value investment, or value trap?
