I did wonder rather hard, at what the expo organisers were thinking when they set up their entrance prices structure. Personally, I thought that the entry fee was rather steep, especially for two people, one of whom was almost dragged to accompany the other, kicking and screaming,under duress. The entry fee was just another insult adding to the injury, And 'partner' (ok..it was dh!)seemed intent on reminding me of this fact at least every 10 minutes or so!
The whole event itself was extremely well organised - no gripes there, the stands well grouped, nice products, nice people, nice everything really, v pleasant and relaxing experience, except - yes you guessed again, the prices charged for products and services I feel were again not at show prices or at least they didn't try to be expo friendly.
I think that, what could have been a more hands on experience, giving us the chance to try more of these unsusual and alternative therapies and products were priced out of reach.
Having just spent $30 just to walk thru the entrance , I then went onto spend... $25 on an aura photograph, complete with reading and interpretion...this I felt was money well worth the service I was given.
I wanted to have at least one tarot/card reading, so looking out for a tarot or card reading that I could afford, I chose to have a sitting with Linda the Laughing Witch, who not only made me laugh too, but spent a lot of time talking, gave me a very interesting and accurate reading,and all at a laughably low price. She was brilliant, she was value plus + plus.
As a conscious living 'newbie', I would have loved to have sampled more of what was on offer...alas I was beaten by the wallet monsters who grabbed my cash at the door, and left little for later. Shame.
