This was a really fun event, and I think the VIP was worth it when I went a few years ago because you could try the most popular samples before the event gets more crowded.

Some of the lines get long fast, so head try your top picks before it gets too busy! Plus you’ll have a chance to snag a table for your group to congregate around.
