Wasnt sure on the exact price as ive never been to expo but ive had american friends go & it was like 100 at least! maybe more now,Ps ive never heard of the day passes & such personaly but it may be worth getting one just for a look if you are not sure on the whole week,Ps i dont wana piss on your batteries but its a nightmare to reach as well! cos its tucked away on an industrial estate & you need to get the tube/underground,Thou some coffeeshops notably the "bluebird" do run a free shuttle service 3/4 times a day down there 8).

One day pass is 30 Euro and available daily at the PowerZone. The Judge's pass itself is $250.00 if you purchase it before 15 November and 250 Euro at the door.

I have always thought the cup to be a waste of money because the usual suspects always seem to win, no free samples, and the overcrowding has definitely become a royal pain in the ass. Voting is done by a select few and not the general public, so why buy a judge pass? A chance to score some seeds? Steal a few minutes with people who are in the know? Lot of green for a few minor tokens. The Cannabis Cup should be about the weed, unfortunately the Cup has become more about the commercial aspect, another way to make money without giving much, if anything of value in return.
May I suggest to those who are contemplating attending - go the weekend before (21-22 Nov is better) or the weekend after (28-29 Nov). The madness will have mostly subsided and shops should be offering the gear that was entered into the cup.

I went in 2003 The conspiracy Cup.
I paid about $100 or there abouts, I had an enjoyable time but got to see that its really a commercial enterprise for the shops owners to pay off as many judges as possible.

It always seems to be the same ones winning ....hmmm I wonder why? lol

I would not go again to the Cup, but I go to AMS every year at the same time the cup is on partly to celebrate a birthday and to smoke some even better weed, while the cup is on.

I think its one of those things to say I have done, one of those things to cross off the list.

The coffeeshops were very busy and at times a pain to get served and forget about trying to sit down lol.

This year its very expensive and with the current economy the way it is, it is going to be interesting to see just how busy the coffeeshops are this year.

i agree the fee for the cup ticket is better spent on the best buds and isolators as well as the best munchies! I'm back on 28th nov just after the cup finishes when i hope to taste the winners with a bit less crowding! Here's hoping!
