FOS- Thursday Free Tickets

[deanogtv]

In the past, the likes of Autotrader, The AA and The Independent newspaper have offered up free tickets for the moving motor show. Has anyone seen any offers on line as yet?? Keen to grab some for me and the boy as we cant afford weekend tickets this year.

I think free tickets stopped being handed out as of last year as the moving motorshow became more popular. Indeed the last time I obtained free tickets away from being a member of GRRC was in 2014 through GA pilot magazine.

Last year the Telegraph had a code for 50% off, but they dont seem to be doing this now either. I think too many people have cottoned on to Thursday and they dont need to do offers.

There used to be a lot of different offers around. As well as free Moving Motorshow tickets the local papers used to give away a free Friday ticket to FoS and Revival for every Saturday or Sunday ticket bought. I used to always go for that as it was cheaper than a weekend ticket with GRRC discount. In previous years there was some trading in the coupons in these forums.

As the events are sold out well ahead of time now all these deals have gone for good I'm afraid.

GRRC members are entitled to two free Thursday tickets (if they can work out how to claim them!) Sorry I'm using mine.

I thought it was quite straight forward? Pop in the ticket office and ask, phone and ask or buy online and it attaches a discount at checkout?

Greedy-Goodwood giving something for FREE! What planet you on?
Year by year GG have even cut back on press ticket allocations, cutting out local media & charitable organisations in order to suck up to those who can line GG coffers the most.
And have you seen the Revival prices? £50 for the Friday for crying out loud.
These days other grand estates & circuits have caught up with GG & offer better deals with just as much excitement & interest.

You're more than welcome to take your business elsewhere. The estate certainly won't find any difficulty in filling your ticket space.

Personally I think £50 is a fair price when you consider other events like reading festival or Glastonbury

Also Agree. And how right they are are that Goodwood wouldn't do something for free. Well that's if you exclude Breakfast clubs, Sprints, Viewing of trackdays, Saywell days etc etc. They only change for 3 events of the year when there's things on most weekends (and weekdays) that are worth a view.

Ah I remember the miserable sod moaning about the free spitfire event! A shame he could attend when I couldn't. Maybe I should moan about the fact Lord March didn't run it on a date to please me!

He's got a bit of point though.

£32 for the moving motor show ??? I've been to the last two Thursdays on free tickets and while its an enjoyable day out .... I wouldn't pay much. Not a lot happens, just a bunch of stands from car manufacturers, a few ordinary cars going up the road, some nice static cars and expensive food stalls. Much less interesting I'd say than say Italia day at Brooklands thats coming up (£12.10)

... but supply and demand prevails, so while there's plenty of people willing to spend on £32 for the thursday there will be no free/discounted tickets.

I'm putting the £32 to my next car!
