Is it worth going to BBC Good food show just for coupons?

I was think of buying a ticket, well using my Nectar points for this years show for the chance to collect Money off coupons.

Did anyone go last year?

Is it worth going just to colect MOC?

The ticket cost 18.50, plus parking which is a rip off (fiver i think)

Cheers

TB

    Absolutely yes, I always come away with a a couple of hundred pounds worth of coupons.

    I never buy a ticket in advance though, there's always people selling 'em or often giving 'em away on the day.

    Its also worth paying out for the wine glasses and going into the wine area, see a drink you would like to try the top up your glass for free Hick!

    L-Jay, do you go to the London one? And on which day of the week, what kind of time? I quite like the idea of buying a ticket on the door, and would be interested in any tips to make sure that I can get one.

  • Has anybody been to the NEC yet, and was it worth it for the coupons?
