Thread Name: Differentiated tickets at festivals
Subject: RE: Differentiated tickets at festivals
I hate to add to the chorus of knockers, but I might have gone down tomorrow for the HG workshop, if they could have been bothered to tell us when and where it is. Workshops build musicians, they're for performers, whereas the concerts have more than their fair share of watchers. So why do they pander to the passive and starve the active?
I might guess that it's at the Crampton Tower, and hazard a chance 10am, but it's not enough to justify the expense of getting it wrong, travelling down from North London. So I won't, and if it's like the HG workshop a couple of years back when I was the only one to turn up, Phil will have a dispiriting day. Sorry about that, not my fault, blame the Organisers who want to sell me not only the workshop tickets, but also the brochure, doubling the cost, near enough, not to mention the hassle of legging it repeatedly from the festival offices most of the way back to the station. At least a couple of years ago I could find out when and where.
So instead I'm off to the dentists. Thanks.
