Guest Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 It tends to be busier at the weekend. We are going on CC day as we get both the CC & wrinklies discount and it hasn't been frantically busy when we've been before on the first day.

Glen and Les Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Not sure what to expect as it's half term week in our part of the country, so could be busy mid week too. We usually go on the Wednesday, but it'll be Thursday this year. Quote 2019 Ford Kuga 2. 0 (150 bhp) AWD Manual and 2022 Coachman Acadia GTS 565.

Les Medes Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 (edited) Wednesday or Thursday, don't go on the weekend, far too busy, you will have to queue to view most vans, also it gets to hot, so wear shorts,Tshirt and Sunglasses, not forgetting Crocs !!

Durbanite Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 (edited) It tends to be busier at the weekend. We are going on CC day as we get both the CC & wrinklies discount and it hasn't been frantically busy when we've been before on the first day. On page 9 of the CC magazine is a voucher. Do you have take this to the show, then stand in the queue to get the tickets at the special price of £4. 50. Is that per adult? We have never used this voucher previously so not too sure on how it works. Otherwise we will just buy the normal discounted ticket Online so save queuing up and go on the Wednesday as per have done in the past.

Guest Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 (edited) The problem with buying on line is that it's not only more expensive but you have to pay a handling fee as well We use the voucher. Never had to stand behind more tha two people in front of us. We aim to get there abou half an hour before the show opens so we can get a coffee and a bun (or bacon sarnie, if one 's avaialble) There's a bit of a scrum at the gates though when all those who've pre-purchased their tickets have either forgotten them or still have them in their pocket, purse or handbag. Why does it often seem to surpise people that they got to show a ticket or pay when they get to the front of a queue - it drives me potty at supermarket checkouts or in a coffee shop Edited February 11, 2017 by matelodave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Grouse Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Not sure what to expect as it's half term week in our part of the country, so could be busy mid week too. We usually go on the Wednesday, but it'll be Thursday this year. It's half-term in all the local authorities around the NEC, which will reduce local traffic volumes, but the M42 and A45 can be heavily congested at the best of times. Consider using the Birmingham-Coventry railway - if travelling longer distance park near one of the stations on that line. I just don't bother going any more!

Steamdrivenandy Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Parking is free and if arriving by train it's a walk from station to show but at least it's under cover all the way with occasional lengths of moving walkway.

No long walk, 2 minutes to hall No 2 over covered bridge, went today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steamdrivenandy Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 No long walk, 2 minutes to hall No 2 over covered bridge, went today. Maybe it's in different halls to the October show this time, it's certainly a good 10 minute walk normally. Quote I've got nothing to do on this hot afternoon but to settle down and write you a line.

Towtug Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 It's on in Halls 1-5. I was there today it didn't appear very busy at all both on the roads or in the halls. Quote If all else fails, follow the instructions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Stanley Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 It was quiet today. In fact from 3 to 6 it was very quiet. It always gets busier as the week progresses.
