People believe in gradation of power of Lord, as they are not 
exposed to the fundamentals of Vaishnavism. Even near the metro 
Chennai, a few divyadesams like Thiruneermalai and Thiruninravur are 
not well-attended while Triplicane, Thiruvallur and Sholingar are 
thronged by thousands of devotees. This is because people believe so 
and so Perumal is "more powerful". 

Perumal and His powers are not limited by space and time, as 
explained by Parasara Bhattar for the words "anAdi nidhanam" 
and "vishNum". Even His incarnation as narasimha (whom many worship 
to get rid of ailments) proves that He is omnipresent.

The concept of 108 divya dESams is also of later origin and was not 
mooted by pUrvAchAryas. It is the purpose and intent of Azhwars to 
praise the Lord wherever He is, not just the places mentioned in the 
divya prabandham.

this hike in price of ticket????  I personaly do not agree with it.  
I recenlty attended a Kumbhabhishekam were sponsers who donated 
large ammounts of cash become yajmans and got best seats and 1st 
access to all the pujas, whilst others had to que for long hours.  I 
found that this system often upset many non-paying devotees, who 
were were told at rituals that yajmans only or yajmans 1st.  I felt 
that with this paying system created an elitist  atmosphere which 
was opposite to feelings of satsang, equality and brotherhood.
