nlash Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 Open to public from Friday (cheap rate). Thursday is preview day at £40 a head Anyone going? Has to be worth it just for the ladeeez, although will be giving live action arena a miss.... Thunderbirds, I ask you? I see C******m are doing their "£10 for a couple of doughnuts" marketing ploy again. Some people have more money than sense IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nlash Posted May 26, 2004 Author Share Posted May 26, 2004 Glad you enjoyed it Anna Do you not think though, that as many of the manufacturers have complained in the past about dwindling numbers visiting the show they should all get together and do something to reduce the entrance fee? A family of 4 visiting this year are going to have to blow well in excess of £100 to have a good day. Surely if the car companies want you to part with your well earned on their latest models then they should be supplementing your visit to the show. Just a thought, certainly would increase the interest and get more punters through the doors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wee rambo Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 Yeah it is very expensive but its a good day out and only happens every two years. And hay I dont set the entrance fees!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robandcolin Posted May 26, 2004 Share Posted May 26, 2004 Who say's you have to pay All it needs is a bit of ground work. Phone up a manufacturer or fleet provider a few months in advance explaining how you are looking to renew your businesses fleet. Then a few weeks before phone up and ask for tickets. And bobs your uncle free tickets I'll be going on friday then with 3 mates. Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
