Default Anyone Been to TopGear Live?

Thinking of getting tickets for Sunday, but at £100 for two people I was just wondering if anyone has been before and what you thought of it?

Is there as much to look at, as say, the motorshow or autosport show?

Cheers,
Scott.

It's alright, entertaining romp - wish I'd have allowed more time to poke around the cars in the show area though.

I've been a couple of times, not something you'd want to do every year but entertaining and worth the money.

Can't stand Clarkson and with the other two they are just a bunch of not very entertaining schoolboys!

I went to the one in London last year on a gold ticket!
Me personally thought It was amazing
Especially with the free shots of whiskey from the fittes on the lotus f1 team

I have been before, it was a bit ****e really, it was a good few years ago though.

At the time there was another car show on at the time which I had tickets for and that included entry to top gear live. Was nothing like £100 for two people though and if that's what it is now it certainly ain't worth that kinda money!

Been the last two years, only abstaining this year as it's Birmingham.

Live show is excellent. The indoor track last year was great fun too.

I'd recommend it - upgrade as much as you can afford, as the platinum gets the best seats/views, but be warned that there are plenty of people also upgrading too....

100 quid for two seems a bit of a bargain really..

I know a young couple who went to see it about 5 years ago. Acccroding to them, the tiddy one and the May chap are ok, but Jeremy Clarkson is a twohat.

I have never been tempted to try for a ticket.
