    Thanks!!

    I love the wording of this T&C:
    One entry per person.

    does this even work given this

    •Business Exhibitions Ltd is not part of Chill Insurance. Entry to the show is subject to availability and at the organizers discretion.

    My experience with similar shows is that you should have no problem with these free tickets - the wording is designed to stop you demanding entry (and/or seeking compensation) if they have to stop people entering the show due to over crowding or similar.

    Of course there is a first time everything, and they _could_ make your life difficult to get you to pay for a ticket on the day. That said I'd imagine Chill Insurance are sponsoring the show at some level and would be very narked if their free tickets where refused.

    There's 2 for 1 voucher on this thread as well - so if you are going print it off as well - whatever happens you'll get something for free

    Type of show you wouldn't pay to go to but if it was Free you might spend a couple of hours wandering around with the other 5,000 people.

    It's a bit of a diversion if you get in for free - bringing my two daughters they can spend an hour or two collecting brochures and other rubbish. :)

    Lots of free pens, sweets, also some excellent cotton carrier bags. :D:D:D

    Pens. pencils. Key rings, playing cards, markers, luggage tags, writing pads & toothbrushes :D

    Now that and the Tesco thread means the Christmas presents are sorted ;)

    P.S.
    Show is brutal, gone way down over the years, lot less exhibitors.
    €7 entrance fee is a joke + parking.

    Went to this today have to agree with others it has gone down over the last couple of years. The only highlight was the Cech beer and the Thai massage :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 384 ✭✭josh59


    Got the Czech beer, the tequila a few different tastes of grub and the schnapps. Didn't wait to queue for the massage.

    The young ladies came home laden with sweets, pens, brochures, key rings and other assorted bit's n bobs and a few canvas carrier bags.

    Wouldn't have paid the entrance fee - glad we had the freebies and got a discounted parking offer for €4.50

    Still ended up paying €13 for two pre-packed sambos, a bag of crisps and a coffee.

    park in bewleys - loads of spaces and only 1.50 an hour, less than a 2 minute walk.

    Get a discounted parking permit on the RDS website - parking costs €4.5 instead of €6.
