I'll be there on Saturday. Haven't been for a few years, so should be interesting to see the changes (if any). I still think the tickets are outrageously expensive though!

Yes, the show should be great, did you see us there last year? Yes ticket prices seems to be creeping up & up at the moment, there should be a few exciting things to see though!

Indeed Jerry, the show has been slowly getting more expensive for everyone, especialy from an exhibitors view, but your right everyone pays... So someone somewhere is getting very rich off this!
One idea I keep mentioning to them is let the general public in for free!

It's not the cheapest, but it's better value for money than the MPH/Top Gear Show at Earls Court.

not the general public, but the licence holders for the trade days only. IIRC Most b2b exhibitions make the exhibitor pay and let the public ( buyers ) in for free

I went last year but it was too crowded and therefore too difficult with a 5 year old and my father who has some difficulties walking. We enjoyed the arena, though, and as I had taken my MSA license, I was very grateful to discover we could get into the MSA hospitality area for a cup of tea and a chair. We had a much easier time at kartmania this year so will probably stick to that for our annual child/dad/grandad show outing.
