Have bought a season ticket for the last 2 years and I think it's great value: main advantage being you can drop in and out of different events that run concurrently and thereby see who you want to see: the daily newsletter is vital for this to get (fairly) accurate running orders of concerts. And I still go to a lot of free sessions too. I reckon I just about break even costwise but get to a lot more workshops and concerts than I would have done on the "pay as you go" system. Tattie B
