I play the game without a judge pass. we all know that it's a big cash cow, anyway it will be a freaky party! the concerts are not my style of music, so I won't miss that. if you want to go to the expo just get a day ticket.

If they want to give me a free pass I will take it, but I am not paying 250 Euro to be a judge who does not even get any weed to judge, lol!
Remember this though, a lot of people think the town is transformed during cup week. Truth is, it isn't. It is barely a ripple on Amsterdam, I think some major conferences have a way bigger effect.
In many CSs, there is not even a noticeable different that week. In fact, other events seem to have a far bigger effect like the tons of English pouring in the week after for Innovation, huge drum and bass event.

Yeah i'd never buy a judge's pass, because the perks are almost none! Spend it on alot of good pot and make the judgement to yourself!

To be fair to Grey Area they place in the top 3 for most the catergories they enter and they dont bribe Hightimes like Greenhouse and Barneys do.

I don't think Barneys and Greenhouse bribe Hightimes, but they definitely bribe the judges with tons of freebies. I think if other coffeeshops copied the model of breeding their own strains and giving away tons of free shit the cup would be a much more balanced event. As is the winner is going to be the shop that treats the judges like royalty and has bribed them well enough. In a way I think the shops that spend the extra money to breed their own and pamper the judges deserve to win since they actually put time and effort into winning, unlike the competition who will just enter someone elses strain and parade it as their own.

i wouldnt be suprised if they all tried to bribe hightimes. Coffeeshops arent allowed to advertise so this is their advertisement. I know alot of people will buy strains just because they are in the top 3, regardless of what batch they are buying.

Stanky, I've read both Greenhouse & Barneys pay Hightimes €50,000 a year for bribes sorry I meant advertising.

lol obviously it is bribing, but being on that list is advertising for them, i suppose this does make it false advertisement though as its not a honest list.
but €50,000 wow, i wonder how much that €50,000 makes them back.
