Fantasia, Dream and Fantasy annual passport holders
  Adult: 35 euros
  Child: 32 euros
Non Annual passport holders
  Adult: 39 euros

This looks set to be one of the best Pin Trading Events yet, and with so many exclusive pins to see or buy places will definitely go very fast!  >From early rumours the money won on the "casino and baccarat table" will be special "DLRP Money" that the winner can then keep to use in the prototype pin auction later.  I'm not currently sure how true this is, but it would be a fair way to make sure that the luckiest, not the richest, get the best prototype pins!

Is anyone already planning to be there?  Any other thoughts about the event?

I think it is a lot of money for an event with some lunch
Otherwise it would be interesting for my case study about Need Magic

So I think we don't go

I could buy a lot of pins at ebay for this money... I had to drive about 1500 km, pay for the highway....

This pin is actually a CM pin limited to 2000, but people at the even could buy one before the CMs even get them!

I will buy that need mag?c lanyard on the 25th of June! I just love it!

Yeah, it does look really nice doesn't it!?  It's not a bad price either really compared to the price of the full Starter Kits (if you're not bothered about the pins).

There are currently lots of Lanyards available in DLRP.  there's the normal 2004 starter kit, the Lion King starter kit, the NeedMag?c lanyard, a new empty DLRP lanyard, and in June there will (i think) be another new Princesses Lanyard!  Hopefully this will help get more people actually trading the pins!
