What is this kick starter month.

The one thing I do not get in the last three or four kick starters from bands. Is the bigger "prizes" is a travel to where ever the band is from or living or whatever. But yet your laying all that cash out for them and then it says in nice print. You must find your own way out here and back and find a place to stay while out visiting us. I feel like that is bullshit. I am laying 8,000 or more out for this prize that should be included into the prize. Not having to lay more money out to come fly out to see the band.
