Over 50's Show, RDS Dublin

Last year I was blessed to get two free tickets to the Over 50's show in the RDS but haven't managed to find anything online this year yet. Anyone got any links please?

I've not been to this event, infact I've not even heard of it. I may go along just to have a look around.
Forum meet up opportunity if anyone else is interested?

No freebies on RDS site but still hoping. I think An Post had an offer last year but nothing this year so far. I know senior citizen groups, ladies groups and ICA sometimes get freebies but I'm not a member of any of those. The Seniors Magazine have a two-for-one offer which you can download and print out. I need two for me and two for my neighbours in their 70's who have always paid and didn't know about freebies so I'm hoping to help them out this year.

You haven't heard of it OG? I (literally) dragged hubby to it two years ago and he was quite surprised how many interesting stands there were, last year my daughter accompanied me and she also found a few interesting stands, you never know what you will find.

Anyway I'm still on the hunt for freebies!:D

Got to the Over 50's show today. Lots of stands. Have to say, far too many holiday stands for me but others seem to be interested. There are some stands dealing with health conditions, etc., also a coin collectors fair and of course the Genealogy section is pretty good. Anyone else got any feedback?

Nope, I just tried it and it works. Its a bit slow but it opens an email to the exhibition company. Click it again and wait - the email will open. If you still have problems just email them at info@slp.ie

In case you have problem getting tickets below what I got back by reply::D

Please find attached a free Over 50’s Show ticket download which you can print off as many times as you want for free admission

Apologies if you are looking for posted tickets but this is a much more effective and less costly way of getting the tickets to you

We look forward to seeing you there and enjoy the show
