Hmmm,
As far as I can tell (tho I have to be honest I've had to ask for clarity, twice) from the responses to my emails It costs £50 just to walk around the dealer stalls.
£50 to go shopping?????!!!! Is this normal???
Even by CUPS standards I want to spend the money on my magic NOT the entrance fee!
Dissapointed - as this rules me out of Blackpool
:cry:

Daily tickets also used to included the lectures, demos and workshops as well as access to the Dealer Halls. This year there are two sites hiostign the lectures and shows so it's all very different. £50 for one day vs £85 for all three does seem out of synch.

I still feel pretty miffed that I can't just wander around the stalls. I had a list and everything.
tIt would have been great to see the lectures too but they sold out with the 3 day tickets.
Ah well I'm sure it will save me a small fortune I would have otherwise spent.
Look forward to readng all about it.

I have a three day ticket for sale if you are interested - includes seats for both shows (good seats too, plus you get to sit with a nice bunch of people). PM me if you are interested.

Anyone ever lost their tickets before?

I have just looked where I thought they were and they are not there or even in the same room!

Cheers! I'm going to have one last room upheaval and then if I still can't find it, that sounds like a plan.

Being an excellent Mentalist, I forecast it will be found in the last place to be searched..... :wink:

I don't know. I have a horrible feeling that I threw it out during a cleaning frenzy thinking they were last years Welsh Bafta tickets.

Oh poo. There go your tickets and my reputation.... keep searching!!

by **DaveM** » Feb 7th, '11, 19:10

Scrub that. I have just been handed them and someone needs a slap for putting them "in a safe place"!

I had forgotten how shiny they look. I'm all excited now.

by **Mandrake** » Feb 7th, '11, 19:16

I just knew that would happen! Time for a celbratory G&T... however, I'll just nip upstairs and check that my tickets are where I think they are......
