Ok, each time I look at the ticket pricing I get REALLY confused. None of the ways it has been explained has helped me so I've done my own thing to try to grasp it to see what I can afford this coming year.
Attached is a JPG of an Excel file - yes I did get that confused that this was the only way I could get to grips with it!
Please can someone correct me and/or confirm my understanding?
It *looks* like I can buy one of two bundles (I've only shown members' prices and not mentioned the Light and Landscape stuff).
Bundle 1 aka "The Big Deal" for £325 with my own choice of gift (from what selection I don't know!)
Bundle 2 aka "the bundle with no name" for £230 or £260 if I book after the end of November.
I've tried to show in the chart what appears to be included in each of these.
My alternative would be to go "a-la-carte" and for example buy a £150 business school - which I believe means both days then buy a masterclass ticket £45 for one day and/or a superclass ticket for one session. In other words if I was interested in the business school and two masterclass days that would be £240 and I'd be better getting the "bundle with no name" and I have to remember that if I wanted the Thursday that's a £20 not a £45 pass.
I also believe that even if I got the "big deal" although it would include the Jerry Ghionis session it would not include any of the Superclasses. So I would be restricted to masterclasses or would have to fork out another £75 for each extra superclass that I wanted to attend.
Am I close?
Sorry, head office, but I don't find this pricing very simple at all.

Thats all correct.
"the bundle with no name" - I missed off is the Convention Ticket
and the Awards Dinner is on the Sunday.
None of the Superclasses are included in any of the tickets.
Hope this helps
Colin

Colin, thanks for confirming all that. Hopefully by me posting it here the diagram will help someone else who is as befuddled as I was. Now that I know what's available I can at least start thinking about what I want to attend.  |

Mark, looks like you have your head round this now ! One little question, how much would it cost me just to attend the Sunday awards evening ?
Thanks .. Mick

Sounds like a plan! I've booked the Thursday's master class, friday afternoon and monday's super class other than that, I'm going to try hit as many of the master classes I can. I've also bought a ticked for the awards dinner. . . Not sure where I'll be staying yet, but there's no way I can afford the Novotels prices! We must organise something closer to the time! Hey, you're welcome to join us Kate! |

Nedine and Kate, that sounds great! I've not even looked at what I want to do but was thinking of coming down on the thursday, staying over friday & saturday for the party and doing whatever classes I can fit into that time. Is the novotel expensive then? not looked at prices - sorry Mark to hijack your thread, perhaps I should start a new one??
