Cons: it looks like the organisers like making people suffer. No payment parking in 2019 (possibly because in 2018 it was a complete mess and endless queues.... I paid for it and never made it to get the car in the parking). No free parking closer than 4 or 5 km walk. Take at least 2 hours to get inside, just in case. Many shows overlap whereas there are times with one or no shows. Asking for a drink is sometimes hard job and they will make you pay for the plastic cup. Every time you give back your used plastic cup and ask for a clean cup they will charge you again. Every time you need to change from the beer cup to the soft drink cup they will charge you for a new one. It's like they want to make you feel guilty even for consuming air. Info desk just doesn't work. I gave myself more information to them than all the way back.","time":1564436220},{"author\_name":"Itay Malleron","author\_url":"https://www.google.com/maps/contrib/106048115840273857184/reviews","language":"en","profile\_photo\_url":"https://lh6.ggpht.com/-X7McaUx3fAo/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAAA/3kNjRMfLjTk/s128-c0x00000000-cc-rp-mo-ba5/photo.jpg","rating":4,"relative\_time\_description":"3 months ago","text":"This place is really nice.
