For example on 1 months tickets I got 10 scenes all of 1 particular actress and 1 more. Next month will probably be the last month package I purchase for a long while. I am going to review this site soon so I will share my deeper thoughts there. But I agree with you greed seems to have no bounds lol.

I suspect it's a mix of greed and desperation for them. They've had some other issues over the past year too. One of their more popular and prolific directors left. They've also started making some scenes from the DDF Network available and I suspect that may have undermined some of their credibility. I can imagine that someone who wasn't aware that these scenes were available on a traditional subscription-based site would be pissed to learn they spent expensive tickets to get a scene instead.
Another problem that crops up regularly is that their download speeds are often very slow. I might be willing to forgive that on a cheap site but LP is so expensive I'd like the buying experience to reflect that.
You've hit on this in your comment and others have mentioned it too on another forum: the number of models they hire (or are willing to work for them) seems to be down. You see the same models over and over again.
I really do hope that LP is able to pull this out of the tailspin they're in. Whether that means that I can afford to buy scenes again or not is irrelevant but I'd like to see them be successful. The scenes they offer are unlike anything else.
I wonder if a traditional subscription-based model would work for them? Well, it would. I don't think there is any doubt about that. Even if the subscription price was higher than normal (even $50 USD per month) and they never offered any discounts I think this would drive a lot of business their way. At $50 per month I wouldn't keep a recurring subscription but I could see joining three or four times per year. I realize that their business model is a bit different since the site is made up of different studios. But I think that’s how Evil Angel works and they’re able to be successful with a subscription model and still keep their directors happy.
(As an aside, I join the two Pierre Woodman sites – Woodman Casting X and Wake Up N Fuck – a few times per year and those are expensive and never offer discounts. But like LP these scenes are unique and I’m willing to spend the money to get access. I really think LP could make a subscription model work.)
I’ll look forward to reading your upcoming review. It’s been a year since I was a regular at LP so I’d like to hear a current and objective viewpoint.

A lot of sites are raising prices these days. Most are $5 a month increase but others are more. Perhaps bandwidth and other costs are going up for them so they pass it on to us.
It also means we wait for those bargain days instead of immediately joining.

Agreed. I try to wait for sales - whether offered through here or an email offer. The good thing about email offers for me is that I rarely join 'new' sites these days. I have maybe 40 or 50 that I cycle through and often get decent offers to rejoin. But since I'm joining the same sites over and over that means that I have nothing to review.
