"According to the website, each entry ticket costs $10 in cash, $11.50 online, or $12.39 by card. But festive New Yorkers have claimed that there isn't enough inside to fill the three hours. One attendee, Gabe, 27, told The New York Post that he and his girlfriend saw everything the village had to offer in a third of the time. He said: "There's just not enough to do. You try everything and you're out in an hour.""
"The market, which is located in Greenpoint, north of Williamsburg, drew roughly 600 attendees on its opening day on Friday. According to Jeremy Seaman, the producer of the Williamsburg Winter Village, interest grew significantly the following day. He said that the village saw upwards of 3,000 people on Saturday, with approximately 50 people waiting down half a block to get in. The outdoor venue has a maximum capacity of roughly 1,200 people."
Williamsburg Winter Village in Greenpoint, Brooklyn opened with an entry fee of $10 cash, $11.50 online, or $12.39 by card and three-hour timed tickets. Many attendees criticized the village for having too few vendors and activities to fill the allotted time, with some visitors reporting they saw everything within an hour and calling the venue too small. Opening-day attendance was about 600, rising to roughly 3,000 on Saturday with about 50 people waiting outside, while the outdoor venue has a capacity near 1,200. Producer Jeremy Seaman said the fee allows vendors to offer lower item prices than Manhattan markets. Sponsors include Coca-Cola and Kahlua x Dunkin'.
