LAMMA 19 Parking & Entry Fee

[Father ted]

Moaning about entrance fee & car parking but they can go shooting five days a week..................

 

[Pennine Ploughing]

Free of course













Cos I'm tight ass the proverbial ducks arse

no more free tickets for you then lol

You're not paying to be sold something, you're paying to be able to see everything under one roof. I'd also be happy to pay if it means smaller manufacturers can afford to display.

Having drank free brews and eaten free cake all day, me and the 2 blokes I went with stopped at a pub and spent £60 on food and beer. I wonder how many whinging on here about paying to go, did the same? Plus any ticket price is claimable against tax!!!!

Thats been the problem every time I have been to an event at the NEC. The food was extortionate and tasted disgusting. At least at Yams you can eat the food even if you have to queue.

I voted £10 car parking and free entry as it would encourage car sharing, reducing traffic a bit but also reducing the cost to exhibitors a long way as buying a car park for two days would cost a lot more than buying the spaces when needed if you see what I mean.

Free entry purely because all paid shows seem to want your life story before you pay and makes more queues to pay and get ticket stamped.

Some interesting comments fore & against charges, personally I would pay for parking and entry, discount for pre paid online tickets as suggested earlier may help ease of entry and less queuing. If the money generated reduces the cost of the floor space, allowing the large and small manufactures to further there support for the uk’s premier Ag show. It surely has to be a step in the right direction for many successful years to come?

Currently seems to be more of a move to some sort of parking and entry charges, according to the poll anyway.

You'll probably only get offended

I think those my age & over have seen the best of the show days, the train trips to London for Smithfield, YFC coach trips to Stoneleigh the local shows to me being Lincoln and Newark where you could drink & eat free of charge in the hospitality suits of local merchants & dealers, even most of the local village shows have gone but its changing and I doubt the current generations will have as good times as we did.

If we look at it as a tax efficient day out to indulge in some serious machinery porn then I don't object to paying some form of parking/entry fee combo. Loading the cost towards parking should encourage us to share vehicles.
It would be nice if there were some way for some of the quality/tasty food outlets we find at smaller shows to attend, I remember at the Royal there was a hot beef roll outlet run by the British Simmental Cattle society I think it was and that was really nice. I realise that at all these shows food and drink is expensive, but like many I suspect, I object to being robbed blind for food that is utter toilet. On my last Smithfield visit some of the food on offer I would not have given the dog.
Lets get our heads together and develop a show that we can be proud of.

Free parking is great

Thats expensive I was going to say free entry plus an early morning breakfast for all pre-booked TFF members. Its your best incentive to get TFF buyers to the show with maybe a TFF bar as a meeting place.

Maybe you could design a free entry badge

The problem is if we don’t pay for parking or to get into the show it will be to expensive for a lot of manufacturers to exhibit and the show will finish

^^^^ what he said

 

[fingermouse]

Voted for fiver parking and a tenner entry wouldn't begrudge paying more tbh ,a dry ,warm easy to walk round venue has got to be better than a field in January
No one probably minded paying a fortune to go to the Smithfield (maybe not all spent on actually going to the show in some cases ) so I cant see the problem of paying to go to the premier UK machinery show now

 

[GET]

A lot of exhibitors will not be exhibiting at the 2019 LAMMA, as the new pricing is 600% more than this year, which is already the most expensive show we do. YAMs and Midland machinery show are where you will see the smaller to medium size manufacturers in the future

putting on a show has an expense so people attending should pay,like I said before people only go because they want to I very much doubt anybody goes under duress,the clue is in the word SHOW
