<p>Wow - $400 for tickets - that is apalling! Our school also does a good prom held at a ‘mansion’ where the kids promenade first in all their splendour for the family to see. About $25 per person I think. Some of the ‘partiers’ (i.e drinkers) leave early but the rest have fun. It is also followed by an official after prom that runs pretty late and has really good prizes to be won. The kids have a blast. Same as the above poster - no readmittance & no alcohol. </p>
<p>After prom at a motel. My answer would be a big ‘NO’ to that also. In fact No No No No No! Even with my senior daughter who will have just turned 18 
before prom.</p>
