The Factory to Table sale was announced. In your opinion, are they worth attending?
Le Creuset Düsseldorf Factory Sale, total scam – Mystery Boxes gone in 30 min, prices even cheaper online

The first FTT was announced in San antonio. I’m considering going but have never been before. Are the discounts and choice selection worth it?
I went to the Le Creuset factory sale in Düsseldorf today – and it was a complete disappointment.
The Mystery Boxes were completely gone within 30 minutes.
Even people in the first time slot barely had a chance.
Tickets were sold for slots between 3–7 pm, but if you weren’t there right at the start, you had zero possibility of getting a box. To me, this feels like nothing but a cash grab.
On top of that, the in-store prices weren’t even much better – in fact, many items were cheaper online. Examples:
Cast iron pan: €103 at the event, €98 online.
Dip bowls: €9 at the factory sale, €11 on Amazon – but there you can choose any color you want.
Even many pots were the same story, despite the supposed “-40 to -50%” discounts.
So the €6.50 “VIP ticket” was completely pointless. As a long-time customer, I found this really disappointing – I honestly wouldn’t recommend going to any future Le Creuset events. For comparison: Zwilling handled similar events much better, and their prices were actually good.
