You would pay $45 to enter the meet and find out that the swimmer in the next lane paid $27.50.
You heat would be delayed for 3 hours and you could not go the bathroom. Whereas the event scheduled behind you would have already finished.
TSA (thousands standing around) would search all the swimmers prior to gaining entry to the pool deck. Some lucky winners (90-94 y) would be pulled off for special full body searches.
The shady spots on the pool deck are more expensive.
There is surcharge for using the newest speed suit (!$#@).

There would be different levels of entry fees (for the same event) that define restrictions:
For example:
100 LCM (any stroke)
If you pay $50, you can do a flip turn; $40 will let you do an open turn.
If you only pay $25, there's a minimum stay (pause) at the wall of 5".
If you pay the cheapest entry fee ($0.25. Hey! You wanted the best deal!) your minimum stay at the turn is 15"
And if you want to change your options (events), after the warm-up has commenced, the change penalty could be anywhere from 1/10th to 3 x your entry fee.
