Very interesting, thank you Jack- but what is a Eurosession?
Keith, are you assuming that people asking about fringe sessions are not buying festival tickets?
We have come to Whitby with full tickets for several years, and enjoy fringing too- it's all part of the Wonderful Whitby experience. Exhibiting a negative attitude to the fringe doesn't do anyone any good. Other festivals I know well that have discouraged fringers without festival tickets have found that these would-be fringers do NOT buy festival tickets, they just stay away altogether- to the detriment of the whole festival.
