ikendal - the questions you asked are already being discussed in another topic. The fact is that the vouchers are here to stay.

Hmm.
I've attended all previous whiskylive events.
This year it seems less exebitioners and masterclasses are to be announced very late.
Airfare is getting even more expensive this way.
Still doubting if i should go.

Matt, hope to see you if the event will be as big as a few years back.

Hi Hendriks, it is bigger and better this year. Bigger venue, more exhibitors, and the way tickets are selling it is going to be busy.

After attending from day 1 , i can't let go.
Due to airfare and hotel costs i'll only be attending on saturday this time.

Matt,

With a larger venue how likely are tickets to be "sold out". I'm *still* trying to persuade some people to come, but not sure whether to cut my losses and book now, or whether it would be safe to wait a couple of weeks for people to confirm before booking.

It is unlikely to sell out completly before the event, but I would book the tickets as soon as you can. On the day there may be a rush of people turning up.

Nothing yet on the masterclasses?

Don't want to miss out!

Only 6 masterclasses?
Disapointing.
