I used to go the the Autosport show (its on this weekend at the NEC)
And haven't for a few years so though i'd go this year for a look around as i live reasonably close.

So I had a look at the tickets, it appears the ONLY option is some bks "Added value" package including a live arena seat, which I don't want - I just want to have a browse for an hour or 2 and go back to the pub.

£35 minimum, + £10 minimum parking

...and they wonder why these sort of shows "struggle"

(I'm not even an old grumpy guy!!!!!!!!!)

I've been the last 3 years, this year was particularly bad in my opinion. I only go because I get media passes to get content for my Facebook. / YouTube. If I'd paid £35 for a ticket I'd be asking for a refund. Hardly any stands there compared to the last few, mostly just suppliers with a race car on the stand and hardly any supercars or Hyper cars
but... its not a supercar / hypercar show...
