the cost was to the players to a significant extent( dealers also).
If minimum 4 rounds of 2500 you'll still need the dealers and the ability to register without long waiting lines. Hope it works and no one gets turned away for whatever reason.
It does take planning and that's up to the chief and so he's been forewarned because of the monster stack last year. Can't make the same mistakes twice....
This is what annoys me to no end, when they screw up, it is we the players that get the shaft.
Imo though, we should anticipate this is going to be a huge problem. I'm buying my ticket online or the day before the event. No way in hell I'm standing in that line for 3 hours.
Unfortunately, most rec-fish aren't going to and thus they will be the ones standing in line all day...

Day 2 flight 2 is going to be the biggest nightmare in WSOP history. I can easily see up to 7,000+ people trying to cram in that last flight.
You will have everyone that busted out the previous flights, even players that made it to day 2 but want another crack at it, then you have rec-fish flying in Saturday to play or rec-fish driving from LA arriving to play. Not to mention the buzz generated drawing other rec-fish in the area who had no intention of playing but now want to play...
I just had a thought, DraftKings should make up a line for betting how many players this tournament will get
Make it a jellybean guessing contest, closest person to the actual number without going over wins it all
$5 per guess...
