Hi all,

This looks like a proper motor show, dont think they will be launching the new Fiesta at this show.

Anyone else going to this?

dont know about taking my scoob down there its a good 350 mile round trip, cost me a fortune..lol

what one you going to, birmingham or london? am tempted to go myself to the london one. like you say it seems like a proper motor show so should be a really good day.

 

i'm going to the Brimingham one, this Sat (12th) probs set off early and do it in a day rather than stop over.

I think Clarkson's Hilarious !!

Have to agree i think he is too. i'll prob go to the london one if i go as it's only 45 mins on the train for me. although i wondered if the birmingham one would be bigger as it's at the nec?

 

I used to go to the normal motor show every year when it alternated between the both, i always found the NEC one was better as its MASSIVE with about 8 hangers rather than Early court which was only about 4 i think

Ticket price too high for me I think. £30-45, far too much. Plus a round trip including petrol from Darlington would be about £150-200.

From what I've heard off other sites is the same, ticket prices are just too much considering the last proper motor show was only £10-12.

 

wannabe - i only ever go to the motor show at the nec for the reason you said far bigger. but this year i think it's at the dockland area which i think is bigger than earls court so might be worth a look.

stilover - for ticket price £45 will get you back stage pass to see cars that other people can't, seat for the hour long show and a few other little bits iirc. you can get in from about £20. if you know anyone who subscribes / buys auto express you can get discounts on tickets. i think you can get the top bracket ticket for about £30 instead of £45

 

I wouldn't bother with the "back stage pass" if last year was anything to go buy.
All it consisted of was walking in a line of people passed various cars (all of which were on show in the main areas) & they were roped off so you couldn't get near them - very dissapointed so wont bother spending the extra this year.

 

thanks for that. saved me a couple of quid.

 

anyone been to this show before?

Was wondering what its like

I got a ticket for free

Our MD won it in a competition run by the investment house Gartmore. They have a corporate box or something and he gave me his ticket. It says its worth £75, why I don't know becuase on the MPH site the most expensive tickets are £45.

I've got a fair way to go to - West Wales to the midlands. All motorways so not too bad. Probably cost a bit in the scoob but as it hasn't ventured more than about 5 miles away from the house in the last 4 months its due a good run.

 

My missus got me tickets as birthday treat - top stuff!!!

I went to the dive show at the NEC the other week I've never seen so many Scameras in one place.

Careful out there!!!
