I understand the process. Coliseum rental isn't cheap. I would pay $10.50 to hear TD Jakes any day of the week. I don't care if he charged to get into an event. I would pay $10 bucks to hear Lee Stoneking or Anthony Mangun. LS does various seminars which people pay to hear him speak. AM packs out Alexandria every year @ BOTT. The Bible says to whom much is given much is required. $10 is cheap compared to secular speakers. Wayne Dwyer and Stephen Covey charge thousands of dollars just to sit in the audience. At least one gets worship God @ a TD Jakes event.

When I was in the UPC - Pastors and National Leaders would have me fly in to raise money for their projects. I never counted the money, touched the money or saw any of the money. They would hand me an envelope as they let me off at the airport. I never knew what I would get night after night - week after week. I did have preachers slam me as "The Money Man" because I preached Faith for Finances and challenged people to give. THE PASTORS were the ones taking care of the finances - NOT ME - but I got the RAP of always being out for money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Give Bishop Jakes a break - I have been to the Potter's House many times and have never paid a fee to get in!
