High Times Cannabis Cup !

Looks like a great event with a solid music lineup. That being said 269 bucks can buy you a few garbage bags full of ganja. if I was down there at the time I'd probably settle on just one garbage bag... And scope the scene and schedule out... When Taurus is playing I think I'd figure out how to get in pretty quick and if not I'd hang close by and enjoy the sweet tunes and tasty green.

Moose- you'll be so captivated by Jamaica and its people and culture that you'll probably forget all about the event once you get there! And it all else fails... Just say youre a local you look like you might pass!

I guess unless you're Jamaican the one day passes don't apply. That seems like discrimination to me! And I thought it would be the tourists they were wanting to attract. Hmmmmm! Oh well. Obviously I was wrong. Will still have a great time, as always and will enjoy using that kind of money for lots of other things!

Instead of looking at it as discrimination or 'the finger' toward yourself/selves, see it as a fair chance for locals to attend something that many Jamaicans (most?) don't have the employment opportunities YOU have, to afford the retail price. Some antonyms for the word discrimination: equity, fairness, justice.

Oh I don't think of it as a finger towards myself because of the local rate; I feel we are getting the finger/shaft because it is pay $269 for a 4 day pass or don't go; especially after there were $40 one day tickets available when the CC was in Colorado. I totally agree with a locals rate 100%.

Just hang around the edges, there will be plenty of action to be had. I would have been more unhappy with the situation had they not given the locals a break.

Lol... Single day tickets now available for $95. #Nope

I hear ya, Moose. Lots of better ways to spend $200 (per couple)!

Crazy pricing - I'm still hoping for evening passes - I really would just love to hear the music at night. I would never spend that kind of money for a day pass :(

Lola, I wasn't really serious about the discrimination statement, though I did think it was more the tourists that they were trying to attract. Even at $25 for the Jamaicans I think is quite high since I'm sure many of them don't make that much in a day. Maybe that's why I am quite the generous tipper when I am there to try and help them out the best I can (sometimes tipping at 40-50%). And I do agree with CosmicMoose that $95 for one day is still quite high (no pun intended!)

Particularly since I can't see spending the whole day there. I feel like a few hours would be more than sufficient.
