The Smooth Festival of Chocolate returns

What am I getting for my $23 entry fee? Moving location from Rocks to showground is just a ploy to control and charge entry fee. Disappointed it is not a free entry as the food and sweets are expensive. Last year, four of us each spent over $80 on food and treats for home. I suggest entry fee should give visitor a $20 token to spend at one of the stalls.

I found the Sydney Chocolate festival basic. Wish Callebaut had sold there own bags of chocolate and or equipment for chocolate work, I found the host was not very engaging especially for Adriano Zumbo show as it felt like he was hosting for himself and his book when we were there to watch Adriano Zumbo only. The entry fee was to expensive as we also had to outlay money to buy chocolates which I understand then the entry fee should of been free. The cardless cash was absolutely ridiculous due to the several activations that many banks had placed in order, to keep going to the atm to reset to use every so many times. Could not even use a pin as it was only pay pass. Felt like it I was at the fruit markets and due the amount of the advertising you promoted I thought it would of had more to the event than just your basic confectionary stores and basic desert treats. Anyone can do what I had seen at most your stores and for the price was pretty steep.
