unfortunate date clash in the UK

[P38 in workshop]

I just had confirmation that the coming weekend sees the London Classic Car show clashing with the Race Retro show at Stoneleigh.Curiously,neither of the promotional emails I received gives the actual price of the admission tickets.Why do I suspect that following the links they provide will lead me to a site where a price is given-and it won't be cheap-and then some organisation slaps on a "booking fee"?


I have decided to avoid any form of bias and stay at home instead.If in future they tell me what it will cost I might adopt a different policy.

Stoneleigh is 20 minutes away so a no brainer.

Race Retro advance booked tickets are £ 23 each per adult plus £ 1.95 per transaction booking fee. Prices found within one click from their website. On the door prices are harder to find.

On the day £ 28

completely irrelevant but every time i see this thread title i think of the fact that almost half of the biggest two uk motorsport events, british gt and btcc, clash this season.

It is designed to clash I think you will find, been the case ever since the London show started. Stupid idea, but these things tend to happen for reasons only cretins can understand.

[andrewc]

Its probably asking too much for show organisers to sit down and talk to each other otherwise the potential audience is immediately reduced by a significant proportion - or to do a deal and bring both shows under one roof.

Exactly andrew, so damned stupid, but it seems to happen everywhere in all business.

I have lived in my area for nearly 5 years, one barbers, now there are four almost next to each other, it defied belief and you know that soon 2 or 3 will be closed!
