Baby Show London?

mysecretalias

Hi all

So sorry if this has already been covered somewhere else, but I was wondering if anyone knew of any ticket codes to possibly get 2 for 1 entry to the Baby Show London which is happening from 21-23 February?

I am too tight to pay £30 for two tickets!!

Thanks!

Nope, but definitely enter the comps on MSE!

Current results for 'baby show' on comps board: http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/search.php?searchid=151816013 (please bear in mind that also covers GAME OVER and other areas (didn't specify London in the search as not all will give the location until you open the link for comp).

So check it's a current comp, and check back daily.

I've always won Ideal Home Show tickets (at least two for the last few years). Definitely worth entering for something like the Baby Show as am sure it won't be half as popular.

Let us know if you win some!

Just wanted to say that I went to the Baby Show during my first pregnancy (2011) and, despite looking forward to doing lots of research, shopping, and planning, I hated it. The sales people were unendingly patronising, the variety of products very limited, and the specific products available weren't anything different or special for the most part. There weren't any bargains to be had, either, and - perhaps predictably - there was a HUGE queue for the ladies all day long and not nearly enough seats for a few hundred pregnant ladies.

Not trying to put you off, but I couldn't not mention how disappointing it was.

I have found that with most of these types of shows. I have been to a lot of the big craft ones in London over the years. When I started going there were always lots of bargains and freebies and comps. Now it's just a big shop selling stuff for more £ than on the internet. I have also found that you get an awful lot of stalls (both at craft and other types of shows) that only have a tenuous link with the theme of the show. Mind you, it's pretty easy to get free tickets so worth going if you can.

That's the point though - everyone keeps saying how easy it is to get free tickets, but that's why I created this thread (after having googled and found nothing) and so far no one has been able to reply and offer anywhere I can go to even get discounted, let alone free tickets, so if you're basing that comment on knowledge of how I can get cheap/free tickets, please feel free to share!!

I would happily give it a go if I could get cheap or free tickets, but they just don't seem to be about.

Thanks hazyjo - I did try clicking the link you posted but it just keeps saying 'no matches' so I have had to give up there.

iv managed to get 2 tickets for the baby show Manchester on groupon, so maybe keep an eye on that? sorry if that's a rubbish suggestion, I'm sure you've already tried there!
