Thanks for that discount code update, Neil....I'm frankly amazed they've taken that step but if it's footfall they're after, it's one way of helping. Although making it cheaper without a code and pegging the car park fees to something a bit (lot!) more reasonable might help too

I suspect the show organisers have no control over the car parking fees Norm and just rent the halls for the show. The footfall makes them a profit and encourages repeat shows each year?

I think I'll be going for a day and will stop by the stand but the reason will be shopping for stuff for the Beta restoration!

Yeah, I know it's the NEC itself that sets the car park prices, but I was on a rant and saw no reason to rein it in

However, I have been to "trade"-type events (IT related things) where the parking was free. I suppose the NEC charge more in that case to hire the halls.

One year I went there for the Classic show and there was some other event on with free parking, so I parked in their area and, er,....well I'd be daft to do otherwise And, it used to be much cheaper to park in the train station car park, and just walk across the bridge to the show - but now they charge the same so no advantage there any more. Gits.

If it was Comi Con you really would have needed that Darth Vader outfit Norm?

I could have told people what they'd be getting for Christmas, by reaching into the Force and saying "I have felt your presents"
