    there used to be loads years ago
  • I went yesterday (with free tickets of course!). If you buy a programme for £3 at the entrance you also get a free novel (sorry, can't remember the title), a mini men's deodorant, couple of sample sachets of men's products and a Shell baseball cap. I also bought a Topgear magazine from the Topgear stand for £1. Got a few free samples of chammies (chamois leathers - not sure how to spell it!) but you do feel obliged to listen to their sales patter! Also got a free ice lolly and 2 free cups of squash from the Ford stand. So not bad, but nothing amazing.
  • We went on Sunday using tickets from here I got a while back they are free during the week but on Sunday we just paid £4 each to up grade them. I might be able to fax the orignal tickets from here because they gave them back after?

    No once the tickets have been scanned at the gate they then become blocked so that they cannot be used at a later date

    We went last Saturday but there were a lot of people at the gate, so they don't even check the tickets. I just gave him my pile of Family tickets and walked passed. There was a lot of competitions; the children like the free ice lolly and drinks from Ford stand.

    The Tom Tom stand had free cases, the Highways Agency had free reflectors for children's clothes and a few free booklets about driving safely, which are quite interesting.
