malc d Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Have you seen the tremendous offers on the back of the N E C show leaflet which came withh MMM this month. The FREE parking is worth £8 ! The FREE show guide is worth £4 ! So just by going - and picking up a guide - you have already SAVED £12 before you get in !!! Surely this is spinning gone mad ??? Oh - and they forgot to mention the free shuttle bus from the car park - you could save another couple of pounds by getting on that instead of walking. ;-) ;-) ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've noticed that there are barriers etc for collecting car park money, but I've never seen them used at any show I've been to at NEC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malc d Posted September 29, 2008 Author Share Posted September 29, 2008 JudgeMental - 2008-09-29 2:57 PM I never payed for car parking before...am I missing something or is that the spin then? Precisely. If you don't normally pay £8 for parking how can you be SAVING £8 by not paying it this time ? ...and how can a show guide be " worth £4" if they are giving it away free ? (I might try to sell mine on the way out to test their claim - maybe I could offer a discount and get £2 for it). I think it's all a bit of an insult to our intelligence. ;-) Incidentally, I have been to OTHER shows at the NEC when there have been charges - so those little kiosks and barriers are sometimes used.

kelly58 Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 NEC car parking is usually £8 it was last year at the motorbike show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel B Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 If you pay for car parking though, the cost of the show ticket would probably be cheaper ... They do have some shows there that are comletely free, but of course they sting you for the car parking ... but it would probably work out cheaper.
