After trying to book tickets for eight of us to find that they are £31 minimum charge inc £2 booking fee going up to over £100 is pushing it a bit. Got a very "tell them to stick it" answer from mates. This is one group of people that they have lost out on. Have they not noticed there is a recession on?

There was abig thread about it earlier.

It is too expensive, but there is a BOGOF floating around to bring the price down.

I have to say that i spent 8 years going to the AutoSport show. But have not bothered for the last two years. The ticket prices are extortionate as well as the car park charges. Take a family of 3 or 4 and you do the maths. But thats the NEC isnt it, even in the recession they show no mercy. Greedy gits.
Its no wonder the Auto Sport show has joined forces with PH. Trying to keep the numbers high.
I wont be bothering again.

We didn't bother because of the cost, far too expensive!

Just to revive this thread, I didn't bother going last year either because of the high prices, but did go the two years previous and each year there was a BOGOF, is/will there be a code one this year that PHers can take advantage of?

Wow......What a price!!!! I was about to book a ticket for myself and my 5 year old son. £52.........You can do a lot with £52. Is it worth spending the money?

I've been scouring the net for BOGOF codes and can't find one anywhere (well not for this year anyway). Has anyone been successful in finding one yet?

I really want to go, might even bump into Blib again!

we have been for the past few years ,with many of our members from our subaru club all meeting up to convoy there ,but this year with the cost of the tickets being as they are (and NO bogof code or such on the horizon )i am afraid that my self and many members will not be going, and talking to many people who have also been going for a good few years, they have all said pretty much the same thing !

Guys I'm a little confused, when you buy tickets for the Autosport International, do you automatically get access or entrance to the Pistonheads show? or visa versa?

Can some one please help. Re ticket prices, that's nothing compared to MPH 09, which was £42 a pop right up to £150 for VIP!! WTF!!!

yes you get into both shows and the live arena with the same ticket
GM10MSA will get £5 off the basic £29.00 tickets. . you will have to ring up and quote the code

That won't work sadly. It was last year's code and they have now put a message on the phonelines saying 'no discount codes are acceptable'

Is the live arena the same thing for both autosport and PH's with the seating coming in from different halls or is it two seperate shows?

I want to know if its the same or different live shows. Hopefully its the same otherwise im guessing you only get into the live show of the show you bought tickets for.
