    Got a call from the BBC today offering me tickets to Top Gear in Surrey...

    OMFG!!! Can't believe it, on a high all day!! I keep looking at my tickets in awe... Flights are booked already! They better have kick ass cars!!

    Also, I may faint a little when I see Hammond...

    I'm having trouble booking any reasonably priced accommodation... anyone have any tips or know of any place near to Dunsfold Park?

    Anyone actually been to the show, what's the protocol?

    *continues to freak out a small bit*

    I'm very jealous.

    I've applied for tickets pretty much every season for the last few years and never managed to get them :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,248 ✭✭✭Plug

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 126 ✭✭opticalillusion

    I am very jealous. How many tickerts did you get? The website says it is a two or three year waiting list.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 126 ✭✭opticalillusion


    It does say that on the website alright. That's why I was expecting to be waiting for ages.

    I was offered 4, took 2.

    I'm very jealous and don't get cheap accommodation - get the good stuff - the likelihood of getting those tickets again are fairly slim, think of this as your honeymoon only YOU'LL enjoy it! go for broke! you MUST post a summary of the filming!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,954 ✭✭✭Betsie_xr3i

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 126 ✭✭opticalillusion


    Have a nice hotel booked already, hiring a car so have more of a choice.

    I'll take as many photos possible, cameras are not allowed inside the studio unfortunately though... :(

    Meant to ask you - I assume you signed up to their ticket provider. Are you a Priority Pass member? Wondering if it's worth while shelling out for the membership or if it's a waste of my money.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 126 ✭✭opticalillusion


    Philush, all that you say is true, brings back great memories...

    Hammond is well to able curse too, don't be fooled by his boyish looks...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,269 ✭✭✭Rowley Birkin QC


    Why did you not take the 4 tickets offered?!!!:confused::confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 126 ✭✭opticalillusion


    At the time, I din't think I'd be able to find a couple to go with us at such short notice.

    In retrospect, many people have told me they would have found the time :D

    When you take tickets you are commited to having equal numbers of men and women, if you don't they say they'll prob refuse you. I've got 4 tickets lined up for March :) Where did you stay?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 126 ✭✭opticalillusion


    That rule was null and void on the day as groups of lads arrived in their cars.

    We stayed in barrington lodge, crawley. Pay a bit more for the deluxe room :)
