content: Hi folks,does anyone have one or two tickets for Electronica 2016 to spare?A few years back when I was still working in an electronics manufacturing company,we got loads more ticket vouchers than people actually wanted to go there.Thought this might still be the case.. and before they go to the trash, I'd take some ;-)Regards~woo

content: I believe all exhibitors are given a lot of voucher codes , so if there's anyone you know on the exhibitor list, contact them.Each voucher is valid for one day - the website deals sensibly with multiple codes.Maybe see you there!

content: Quote from: mikeselectricstuff on October 20, 2016, 02:16:37 pmI went a few years ago after getting a free ticket from Farnell, I hadn't realized it was a 1 day ticket and was due to attend for 3 days. Do most people only go for 1 day? The place was enormous, even after 3 days I hadn't seen all of it.

content: If they're free definitely get enough for as long as you're in town and decide when you get there.Unless you do some research ahead and just want to go to some specific stands, 1 day is almost definitely not going to be enough.If you're random browsing and quick on your feet 2 days is doable, though even then you'll want to miss out some of the specialist areas.To see everything, at more than just glancing speed, or if you want a more leisurely pace, allow 3 days.One word of warning - I recall a distinct lack of places to sit down, both at the show and elsewhere in Munich. Comfortable shoes are essential, and when you do see somewhere to set & rest, grab it, as it might be a while before you get another chance.Around lunchtime, head towards the big corporate stands as some have free food up for grabs!
