Since it's now a bar it makes sense. The ticket prices are really fair with 17 bucks for all 4 days. In the old location, entrance to the pub was free though. | ||

Earlier you have been in the pub under the studio, your contact with the event was via the things they did outside of the studio or when they came down after the game. Now you are full time in their studio/bar in the viewing and guest areas. But they do not have unlimited space there. 17 bucks isnt too much and the event does not either get fully overcrowded or fans strand infront of the door as they cannot get in. | ||
