But during a press conference on Wedneday, the CEO said that this is not true.
He explained that the CDC was a government entity and the main objective was to ensure that ticket prices are set so that they would be affordable.
According to Wood, tickets for the show will be $45, but for patrons who prefer to sit in the comfort of the stands, they will cost $55.
Anthony Dennie, coordinator of Shows said that there was also some concern expressed about the time the show will take to be completed, especially as this was the first year that the two shows have been merged.
He explained that when patrons turn out to a show such as the Soca Monarch, they generally have a good time.
The show will, however, be extended about an hour or so, Dennie said at the press conference; however, patrons can still expect to be out of the park at a reasonable hour.
At Wednesdayâs press conference, Dennie announced the order of appearance on the night of the show.
