Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since last year. Current prices are actually lower than what's described here.

Adding my experience from February.
The scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more competition.

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were higher when I went. Maybe timing matters.
