    You can walk in okay but you must pay.

    If you have a ticket accessible on your phone or tablet, then I would chance it.

    So!! This is what happened!

    Walking down to the entrance a nice couple asked us did we want a free ticket "I was like OMG yes!" Explained the whole printing saga.

    But then as I walked in I figured I'd do a little test to see if I would have got in without a ticket or not.

    So I just followed the crowd, avoided the paydesks and walked in without giving over my ticket.

    I'd estimate 80% of the people going in had free tickets.
    Of the other 20% it's so bad. I reckon you could do what I did and they wouldn't care...its people in the door after all - which is what they are guaranteeing their exhibitors. But of course when you go up to the paydesk they don't tell you that!

    €15 per adult :eek:

    Then when I came out I saw some man up at the desk asking if there were any 2 for 1 offers etc. Bear in mind this is at about 3pm. Your woman is like no sorry... €30 please.

    The man and his wife walk away looking disappointed and deciding what to do. So that's when I stepped in and gave them the free ticket that had been given to me that I hadn't used. They were really happy so that was cool :)

    P's. If I had not been given free ticket I was just going to walk in and if stopped explain about printing problem and show the ticket on my phone.

    Was it worth the trip after all ?
    IMOH unless I am looking out for something specific I find them a waste of time.

    Put it this way, I wouldn't go with high expectations. And I certainly would not pay in!
    DO NOT PAY IN FOLKS!

    I just went for something to do on a bh Monday, and it was grand to while away a few hours.
    Bought some nice spices :) plus spoke to a company about built in wardrobes. Plus saw some other nice stuff.
    'Twas grand.

    Don't pay in!
