lizzie Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I have an e-mail link to 2 free tickets to the Homebuilding and Renovating Show at Birmingham NEC 22-25 March value £36. I won't be using them myself so if anyone would like them let me know and I can e-mail you the link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJNewton Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 (edited) I'm not sure if all that many people actually pay to visit these shows as there seems to be an abundance of routes to free tickets available online. Here's an example for a number of upcoming shows. Edited February 27, 2018 by MJNewton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lin Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Beware that you will have to pay to park your car. About £20 ... can't remember... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizzie Posted February 27, 2018 Author Share Posted February 27, 2018 (edited) I think its £12 to park on site if I recall. If you choose you can park off site cheaper and get the bus in. I have seen plenty of people paying entrance fees. live not far away and have been to many many shows at NEC. I’m starting to be sorry I posted .......I just made an offer to pass on something that came my way. I was not expecting such a critical reaction. I will think twice about doing anything like this again. I hope the person who had the tickets enjoys the show.

Triassic Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Lizzie, yours was a kind offer. Don’t be disheartened by any negativity. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hecateh Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 @lizzie I've been offered tickets to a few of these shows as well. I never thought of offering them on here thinking that others would have them too BUT have just realised from your post that may not be so. If I can find them I'll offer them on here Thanks for giving me the idea. True lots of people get free offers but not everyone has the links to get them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps my wording was poor. My point wasn't aimed towards you, but rather the marketing of show tickets (generally building related), in particular that they are sold by one hand of event organisers and yet given away by the other. It just made me wonder if all that many people actually do end up paying as I see more offers for free tickets than paid. I suppose at the end of the day they just want footfall, paying or not, otherwise exhibitors won't be willing to pay to attend.
