oddball Posted May 26, 2011 Report Posted May 26, 2011 Its free if you hide in the boot l: The security peeps were checking inside peoples car boots at the last meet we went to,they were looking for glass bottles
Skimmer Posted May 26, 2011 Report Posted May 26, 2011 Thats up from last year i paid 7 on the gate thats 1 of the reasons im not a fan of Santa pod its all about money and its us people with the cars that make these shows i camp over at alot of weekend shows as alot doo and its usually free , and them camping areas around the pod are the roughest uneven i think ive ever had the displeasure of pitching my tent in ....ill give it a miss this year Camping tickets on the gate are £10 a head this year
Posse Posted May 26, 2011 Report Posted May 26, 2011 Keep watching mr glen lol iain cruickwank said to me today that there has been a fook up and he's going to get back to me.
tim Posted May 26, 2011 Report Posted May 26, 2011 the whole classic ford show is a rip off along with ford fair and all the other shows future arrange. club members and traders both get well and truly shafted each year. a club stand ticket is a massive £1 cheaper than a joe public advance ticket,where is the incentive to display your car,no car means no show for them

tim Posted May 26, 2011 Report Posted May 26, 2011 how many shows are free? very few and fair between. avo day is a cheap day out and the little £6 helps the show run and we just about break even, wonder what the profit is from classic ford show. future know my thoughts on there shows and cause of it ,avo club aren't having a stand at Santa pod this year and properly wont be at ford fair either

Mrs O/H/C Posted May 26, 2011 Report Posted May 26, 2011 £10.00 pp is a fooking rip off I hope they get back to you Darren real soon as there might be few people that will refuse to pay that amount on top of the extortinate amount they charge for getting in !! Its just too expensive .. gate fee, camping fee and racing fees
Admin Vista Posted May 26, 2011 Admin Report Posted May 26, 2011 That may be so Tim but the principal is the same, without the owners bringing their cars, there's no show. Contributors on here get their tickets and standpasses delivered to their door for £10 per head. That's only £4 more than AVO national day and I know which venue has more to see, buy / sell and do. Anyway, we've digressed. My intention was not to criticise the AVO national day, merely to point out that all but the very smallest of local shows charge exhibitors to bring their cars. Would I rather pay a little more and go to a really big show? Yes I would. Am I happy paying £10 (or even £7) a head to camp on what barely qualifies as a waste ground that has very little in the way of facilities? No I'm not. So this year I won't be.
MK2Ed Posted May 27, 2011 Report Posted May 27, 2011 Fooking hell, plus a full English, plus a suggestive awakening in tent in the morning by a maid with an ill fitting dress that accidently falls off tripping her over to land on top of you in your tent naked!!!! Where do I sign up?
JP. Posted May 27, 2011 Report Posted May 27, 2011 .........It now costs me nearly £300 to trade at this show ......... Well it will cost us more for only visiting it.... Have a 1000mile trip with a fuel consuming thirsty OSF.. & fuel prices are not the same as last years CFS... Ferry Calais - Dover and vice versa.... And have to pay £27 x 2 at the gate now to get in + a few quit to hit the track. I agree, it sucks but we won't stay at home. It just means we have less to spend by traders like you. By raising these fee's there's a loose-loose situation. Nope we couln't save a few quit by buying tickets in advance cause the mail delivers tickets to international adresses.........just after the Classic Ford Show...........

SebringRS Posted May 27, 2011 Report Posted May 27, 2011 Cheaper too book in at Premier Inn round the corner
Admin Vista Posted May 27, 2011 Admin Report Posted May 27, 2011 Cheaper too book in at Premier Inn round the corner It would be if there was any space there
Andy44Boz Posted May 28, 2011 Report Posted May 28, 2011 I agree the camping prices are getting stupid for what you get, really gutted I hed to pay the same full price for my 14 yr old son as well!!!! It seems to be the same at most big events now though,went silverstone last yr and paid a lot more to camp in a farmer's feild just because it was gp weekend.From their side though I can see why, you've only got to look around the camping area when the tents have all gone
BaileyMex Posted May 28, 2011 Report Posted May 28, 2011 What about if you sleep in your car? I.e. no tent equals no camping? Sorted!!!
KJ 1320 Posted May 31, 2011 Report Posted May 31, 2011 Keep watching mr glen lol iain cruickwank said to me today that there has been a fook up and he's going to get back to me. Any news m8
Posse Posted May 31, 2011 Report Posted May 31, 2011 yes spoke to them today it was a fook up what there saying when you get to the gate and you have a ticket it will be £7 if you have to pbuy one on the gate which is £17 it will be £10 camping.
novanut64 Posted June 1, 2011 Report Posted June 1, 2011 kin ell been going to the pod for 26 years and this is the first time i will have to pay to camp
mk3cokebottle Posted June 5, 2011 Report Posted June 5, 2011 had this conversation with darren today at the classic ford show and it seems that we are just being shafted !!! im the same as alot of other people on here and visit the pod a few times a year and cfs is the only one that charges stupid amounts for camping and for entry unless its a world final weekend where you watching proper drag cars etc and then its only the price of entry that changes not camping its all included in the weekend ticket. i propose this next year when classic ford ask for your cars to appear on stands say no then they have no choice but to listen to the people otherwise there wont be a show !! a Retards Club group is a very easy way of finding out throughout the osf population and ford owners what there thoughts are and im sure that everyone will stick together .... the way this show runs is sickening they are taking the piss now , i didnt get to the show until 10.30pm saturday and was charged £27 ! as for starting a big show then i am sure we could do it and i think that it would be a good idea , somewhere like billing would be very happy to hold a show and it wouldnt cost a fortune either
JAY PS Posted June 5, 2011 Report Posted June 5, 2011 I may be wrong but isnt it run by an events company for the purpose of hang on "profit " I saw plenty of events staff putting stands and stuff away ,street cleaning and toilets ,this all costs and as much as i hear you all moaning about costs ,everybloody thing has gone up apart from wages . Classic ford mag has put this evets company in charge for a reason ,so much legal stuff these days and they have to watch their backs . Yes it seems harsh but its no different to Bromley Pagent which is run the same way . If any of you wanted to start your own one day event you would never do it ,the red tape and litigation that goes with it would be hard to do without legal eagles and loads of insurance etc . I dont think you should expect to camp for free , the toilets were cleaner than many venues ive been too .Incidently the place needed a proper clean up when everyone had left at 5pm tonight ,someones got to do that and guess what it costs! Can see both sides of the arguement but on whole i think it was a great show ,nice cars and nice people thats whats it all about .
mk3cokebottle Posted June 6, 2011 Report Posted June 6, 2011 wheels day £6 each to get in and they have alot more cars there than classic ford show and if not more than the same amount of auto jumble traders , fairly priced food stalls , live music all day etc the only difference is the pod has a camping field and the 1/4 strip but to be fair you cant count the strip as an overhead because you pay extra on top of your ticket to run your car anyway !! so yes you could do it and theres easily enough no how and people on this site to build a 1-2 day event if we all put our heads together quite easily, public liabilty insurance , staff etc are easy to come by as long as you use a long existing site that is known for shows etc like billing, rushmoor arena, shakespeare county raceway also when using these sites i expect you will also find that they are covered by insurance's already to hold events
PlopPlop Posted June 6, 2011 Report Posted June 6, 2011 27 quid to go in and then told I couldn't put my car on display as I hadn't pre booked, I had to park on my Dads trade stand
