Chances of that are almost zero sadly... 

Next year it’s the Yugo’s turn.

Well that looks thoroughly banal.  Congratulations!  Looking forward to meeting it!

[montytom]

Ive just booked but having nothing suitable we will be coming up in my dad's Astra. Hopefully meet some members.

anyone know , does the ticket cover passengers in the car, or would I need to buy a ticket for them separately? It wasn't clear from reading the website

In previous years you just needed to book the car but it certainly looked like each passenger needed a ticket this year.  Only one of my kids wants to come so I booked 2 tickets.  I already had 2 cars registered so both came saying spectator.

yeah it wasn't clear. Both classic and spectator tickets mentioned bringing a car so if they insist on using their allocation of car tickets for passengers the fields could be pretty light on cars. I emailed them for clarification

Utter legend - when did you get that?! 

Thanks, got it earlier this year and have to say it's brilliant. Bottom of the range with a beige on brown interior, so should fit the show perfectly.

That Orion is a thing of beauty!

I was confused too... I only booked one as it wanted me to register 4 cars for the 4 tickets I’d need if my family all come too... 

[RoadworkUK]

Ditto. I booked a ticket on personal data only, then re-read things and realised that my wife would need one, so I booked another. But both have my name on them.

Only after that, though, with PDFs for two Spectator tickets, did I do anything about entering details about the car. I can't see any way that the tickets are actually linked to the car.  I R confooozed.

[Skizzer]

I’ve registered. I’ll probably be in either the Accord Aerodeck or the Espace. The brown E30 may also be an option — it’s probably equally rare without phat wheels, chopped springs and a cunttrumpet tailpipe.

But then your children could bring a car each too, you have enough cars! Can think of no flaw in this plan... Indeed I can offer my kids up for driving duty if needed? 

[R1152]

Are refunds offered?

Reason I ask is that I've bought a ticket but being in my particular work/financial situation, whilst wandering around a field of old cars is interesting, the offer of £400 for a day of work would easily trump it.

 

[BL Bloke]

I'm booked in with the 205.

It drives really nicely too. 

I've booked the Dolomite in although it doesn't feel quite as in keeping with the ethos of the show as the Marina did. 

[RoadworkUK]

You know what? I'm properly, properly looking forward to this.

[MarvinsMom]

i've booked a ticket for me and kerry to go with, weather dependant of course!

dunno what we are going to go in, currently only the mini 1000 is on the road, so its looking good for a road trip for Rodney Mini

however, i have got Hydrolastic & Hydragas Service coming to put new cans and link pipe on Marvin the Metro next week, as a prelude to that car going for an mot after siting in the garage for the better part of 2 years.

who knows? maybe that car will be road worthy by then!

[High Jetter]

One each?

Hey, maybe it can be the turn of TWO Yugos...

[lanciamatt]

Just got my tickets , looking forward to it . Not sure if to take thema or prisma

[wesacosa]

trying to get some clarification on the per person or per car thing on the Hagerty website. Looks like it's one per person but they now don't make you put two different car regs

Thank you for providing the ticket link. However, the booking method is ambiguous. It says “1 ticket is required per person” so I book 2…. then asks for TWO classic registration marks. Either its a ticket per person, or a ticket per classic car. Either way, I cant provide two VRM’s. Please can you clarify and adjust accordingly.

Agreed. its super confusing. It is not clear how to handle tickets for passengers in a car you book in. Do you need one ticket per car or one per person, and if its one per person how to do that if you can only use on reg number

Hello – there were problems with this earlier but the issue has been fixed in the past couple of days. The wording is much clearer now so worth giving it another try!

thanks @Antony Ingram

I read it again and I am taking it that if I have one classic/unexceptional vehicle not entered in the concours competition and I bring a second person in the car with me then I need two of the “free” tickets. If this is wrong please advise. Thanks

Im voting for Thema although a Prisma would be interesting to see, too.

[Crackers]

I've just booked the Rover in. Gives me a good date to get it sorted out by - failing that I'll bring the Focus along which is arguably even more shite.

There’s our aim right there!

I'd like to meet up with some members from here if covid rules allow. How would we go about doing it as I'm sure quite a few of us are going

Wear a Trench coat and hang out by the toilet block?
 

On a more serious note, I’m not sure, but I am also up for saying hello. I’ll let an adult plan the details.

Plunge taken and ticket booked.

Where are folk staying this year? In previous years The Field of Dreams was the traditional pre-show staging post with pre-show Silvers Service breakfast in the morning, but seeing this year's show is in the far east, FoD doesn't look like it would be a good place to spend the night unless you want to leave silly early the next morning. I may also bring the 205 this year so camping is even more so up the spout as I refuse to do a cms206 and sleeping in the car. Anyone going to be in a hotel / live near the show?
