trooperman 73 Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 they are charging this much because they are conected to the BASC and because BASC are loosing members left right and centre they have to make up the diference some where still a rip off though 25 quid to walk round a big field. paul Quote Link to post Share on other sites
olim 28 Posted July 25, 2010 Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 the only reason they get away with it is people are willing to pay that much money, the company organising it will take the big profit, the sellers will probably also be ripped off on what they pay although they will make a good profit. but they are normally very well organised. if people are that anoyed why not set up your own game fair or support others.

brickie 76 Posted July 26, 2010 Report Share Posted July 26, 2010 we went on sunday and brought tickets outside the gate at £15 each ,we had a cracking day well worth going ,i'd sooner pay £25 to get in and have a good day and to see & buy stuff you don't see everywhere else , than go to a smaller show like the regional one's and pay £10 - £15 to walk around a normal sunday market , let's be honest you know when you go to any gamefair ,money is going to run through your hand's, but if you have a look around and compare prices and be abit cheeky you will get bargains most of the time and yes £25 each is a dear day out but you can spend all day there easily , try taking kid's out anywhere apart from the beach without getting ripped off it's pretty much impossible Quote Link to post Share on other sites
