The family next to me outside the beer tent had taken two and a half hours to get in, presumably that was a common experience for those arriving at the same time as them. They obviously thought it worth the wait, others may not have been so happy. Certainly those with children who are the future of shows like this and the hobby in general.
As I said in one of the earlier posts, online ticket = instant admission once you are actually parked up on site. I don't know how the event is advertised, I live in Gloucestershire and heard about it by way of mouth originally but this should be plugged. I repeat, THE WEBSITE IS PATHETIC, I can't even find the rally opening and closing times on it, I found 09.30 on a general visitor attraction site using Google. It looks to me as if all that has been done to it this year apart from adding the online ticketing is change the dates. No mention of special attractions like the Tanner Reunion.
I assume lack of volunteers is the reason why more ticket selling points are not added.
Is it the same reason why the event is not run over three days like Welland and South Cerney who got good crowds on a Friday this year? Or is the Bank Holiday Saturday traffic even worse?
