If, as in the hypothetical example given, you've bought tickets and booked a hotel, I genuinely can't understand why you wouldn't go.
Always had a good weekend at POFW regardless of how we've done, including the 2014 season when we finished 9th.
That's not to say I agree with the pricing policy this year.
As I've stated previously here, I think that not doing kids / family / concession tickets is a downright disgrace and fully appreciate I might be sat in a half empty block.
I don't blame anyone for voting with their wallets and not buying tickets, but I'm still going and planning to enjoy a much-needed weekend away.
