Friday trade day open to general public?

[GreenV8S]

Traditionally, the Thursday and Friday trade days have only been open to motorsport traders and competitors and in recent years the organisers have checked that you do actually hold a license etc before allowing you in. The autosports site seems to show that this is still the case. The PH performance show site doesn't mention any restrictions and gives the impression that Friday will be open to the general public. Can anyone clarify whether there are any entry restrictions for Friday?

Last time I went on a Thursday or Friday (2006) you only had to prove trade or competitor entitlement when buying your tickets, no checking on the day.

Still can't find any official answer about whether a ticket to the Pistonheads show on Friday will give full admission to the autosports trade show. The adverts seem to suggest it does, but the PH show is open to the general public while the autosports trade show isn't.

The ticket for PistonHeads will get you into the Autosport International Trade Day. It is an offical trade day however we are allowing the consumer PHers in. HTH

That's good news, thanks for clearing it up.

Can anyone tell me whether the Autosport Tickets get you into the PH show? I can't find it out anywhere and already have my Autosport tickets.

Everything I've seen indicates that tickets for either gives you admission to both.

Usually shuts at six ish (but they're often starting to clear up before then). Not sure when it opens, it's always open by the time I get there at 10am.
