1.2.4 <DropInEvent>

If an <Event> contains a <DropInEvent> then it means that the event may be entered and left at any point between the start and finish time of a given performance, ie the performance becomes the ``opening hours'' of the event. For example an exhibition at a gallery would be a drop-in event with one performance for each day that the gallery is open, with a start time of the opening time and a duration such that the performance finishes when the gallery closes.

Please note that the presence of a <DropInEvent> element doesn't have any effect on how the <Event> is ticketed.
