Just been to this “event”. Complete waste of time and a lack on exhibitors. How on earth they can justify £ 8 entrance I don’t know. I’d have been disappointed if I had not paid anything!
thanks cos now I wont feel bad for not bothering to go!
Yeah i went to wish i did not bother damn glad i did not pay the full £8.
i spoke to a friend of mine who has a stall at a lot of the shows etc and she said was expensive for stall pitches anyway and she would not be bothering.
totally agree - a rip off!
That’s pretty much what LB’s resident stallholder said about Ally pally as well - if the exhibitors price the stallholders out of the market, the punters end up feeling ripped off and the event dies on its feet… very short sighted.
Glad I decided to go to Boxhill from the Ace rather than carry on round and have a look at this…
the ally pally this yr was a lot cheaper than many others but didnt pay off really in the numbers through the doors.the thing about this 1 is they claim cos of the high price for stalls at earls court custom show this would be better but it was not.
Went along, was pretty crap really ! I managed to get a free ticket but my brother had to fork out 8 quid ! Mind you my daughter got her face painted for free…
Well it was good to see a couple of you there, but that could have been done elsewhere and saved money. Shame it wasn’t better.

popped in on the way back from the pet food run and actually thought it had finished, but there was still 2 hours left. Virtually deserted, other than some loverly ladies hanging around
what a total waste of time and money. there were more burger stalls than anything else, thought the show at detling was bad, but this really took the biscuit, i think we should all get a refund,
I paid the full £8 entrance, looking at the bikes in the parking area was the best bit. Complete waste of time. Only upside was it didn’t rain while I was there. There was even a stall showcasing electric bicycles, I guess they must have got confused about what kind of bike festival it was.
i feel it was very poor, but from an acorn did not a mighty oak grow

This thread is useless without pictures!! lol
what a waste of time was told we were to early and told to wait outside once inside all it took was 10minutes to see a load of crap should have stayed in bed or better still gone to a car boot sale :w00t:

Lucky git - I would be feeling entirely ripped off had it not been for the fun off-road racing around the edge of the field after the jobsworth on the gate would not let us drive a couple of metres “the wrong way” to get out!
