So you just book the tickets as normal? Am i mising something here? ME wants free entry for me and the missis.

Worked for me! Cheers matey!
You just order as normal, but only takes the ?1 out not the ?29 (x2 tickets)?
Seems you got all the freebies and i've paid for 2 tickets.
My usual luck then. Sucks ass :(

It says it's worked, but I haven't received the e-ticket by email yet.
Yeah got it now, i didn't select the promotional code on the drop down.
Had to call them, and only got 1 ticket free, but ?14 is better than ?29 in my eyes so im happy with that :)

Think the offer's finally over, just tried it (I thought I couldn't go, thought it was this weekend!) and it only gives the regular prices now :(
Anyone got a spare?

London's worth a visit generally, if there just happens to be a bike show then so much the better.

Bike show -:smt022
Well you've made me feel a bit better anyway. I've decided not to go because of the weather, I am so gutted to get free tickets and not be able to use them.
We were staying with my mother in the Midlands tonight, but it's already a long journey for a 4 month old baby and there is snow on the M6 all the way through Cumbria according to the BBC, so don't want to risk some idiot sliding into me or the journey taking upwards of 6 hours crawling along the one clear lane at 40mph. My brother in law was supposed to be driving us from Warwickshire to London tomorrow, but they are slowly getting snowed in! Not worth it just for the bike show, we'll see my mother another weekend.
Anybody else wanna tell me it was rubbish and I'm not missing anything? Did want some bargain draggin jeans and new boots though :(.

Tickets might be free, but cage parking is Pay and Display ... all day is £21 :shock:

Is that for bikes, or just for cars?
I might be able to blag a lift to Bermondsey and get tube/dlr from there.

I was in a cage, dunno about bikes (think free?).
To be fair you didn't HAVE to pay for a full day, you could pay £3 (think it was 3) for 1hr ... :shock: ... and then increments up ... it was £9 for <5hrs ... 5hrs is more than enough ...
To be honest I thought giving you no choice other than Pay and Display parking was a liberty ... :(
if it was a blanket fiver for the day, then fair enough, still cheeky, but I could have lived with that ... but Pay and Display ... how do you know how much to put in the box without even seeing the place?!!? :smt087 ... good job my ticket was only £1!!! ;)
Tickets might be free, but cage parking is Pay and Display ... all day is £21 :shock:
Well you were offereed...
Not a very good offer mind :roll:

I'll look out for jeans for you & ask Northwind for your number if there's anything remarkable

To be fair I was pretty p1ssed off by the time I had sat in 40 mins of nose to tail London traffic to get through the freeking tunnel near eXcel (going up the A2) ... not sure I'd want to go any deeper into the smoke than that in my car!! ;) ... anyway, after sitting in that to get to the hell hole, to be greeted with a no-choice Pay & Display nearly finished me off. :smt021
{and chill Blue_} :D
At least there were some filthy b1tches there 8)

Thanks for the offer Stu, thats really good of you. But as Northy'll tell you I'm a bit of a fat bstd! I can be a 34, 36 or 38 waist depending on who makes the trousers, so I couldn't buy anything without being there :rolleyes:. Thanks again though!
