Hi James,
of course it was open to the public, but some/most (?) days were sold out long
before, so most people must have had bought tickets long before. That is no
registration of course, but still...
And you are right: it was public, yet not for free. And there have been Kids
as well. (Even for sure some that came to watch the Fox TV shows only.)
Nevertheless there must have been at least 10 times more AFOLs than at
brickfest - even in the year before, when the event took place for the first
time. And still there seem to be lots of people around that never heard
anything about Legoworld in Zwolle, while nearly everybody will know at least
a little about brickfest. It has been only this disproportion which made me
wonder.
Leg Godt!
