Geneva Motor Show 2013 - press day passes

[thegoose]

Hi, I go to this show every year with a friend who lived in Switzerland for many years. He and I have booked flights to arrive Tuesday morning (5th March) but our press passes have fallen through. We'd prefer to go that day so I'd appreciate any help anyone can give in getting us two passes. Happy to discuss something in return.

Please either reply here, PM via my profile or email [e-mail]

Many thanks.

Hi, sorry i cant help you with any press passes but i wondering if u cud help me. i have never been to the geneva motor show and want to go this year which day is best to go and do you only need one day to see anything. much appreciated.

I would say that one day is enough, but avoid the weekend, it gets quieter in the evening too, it's open till 8 or 9 but quieter after 5-6. If you can get tickets for Thursday then do that, if not Friday is a full public day. The airport, station and exhibition centre are all connected so it's easy to get around on foot.

thanks, do you think the friday 8th is the most suitable day then? Also will i need to order tickets in advance or can u just get them when i am there. sorry about all the questions just want to make sure i want to do everything right cause i can only spend two days there max as i have lot on at university.

You can buy tickets at the entrance but it can be slower if there are queues and it might cost more - I've done it this way and I think it was about £12 each (don't quote me on that, exchange rates will have changed too) and a few minutes to queue. Thursday will be less busy if you can get in then.

Salon-auto.ch is the website which allows you to buy tickets in advance. Other visitor info on there too. Just tap Geneva Motor Show 2013 into the Google search bar.
