Hi All,
Thinking of going to this one myself, anyone going from Essex

[Amateb8]

It is a three day event. Pete126, which day did you book the reservation?

[Pete126]

Most people travel down on Friday, Saturday is a free day whether you want to lounge about with Stella or go on a road run There's plenty of interesting places nearby. A good one is the Fleet Air Arm Museum.
The Tickets are for the main show Day which is Sunday. If you pay in advance its £5.50 or £7.50 on the day Although I can't guarantee a place on the Club Stand unless members Pre-Book. Camping will be paid for at the Gate in the field opposite the Haynes Museum. The organisers have not posted the cost of camping as yet but as soon as i find out i'll post it up.

This is taken from the Retro Rides site, If your Camping Book the tickets Quickly as the organisers have set a limit of 250 Adults on the camping ground. Tickets are per person, under 16's are free. Click the link below to book Now.

We are really pleased to be able to announce the camping details for this year’s event. They are as follows

Friday and Saturday night £15 per person
Saturday night only £10 per person
Limited to 250 people
Camping will be available to pre-order after this weekend

So a little bit about how we get to those numbers and why they are what they are, in the pursuit of transparency:
One of our biggest costs is the facilities for the camping, in fact it is our single biggest cost, even with spending this we were underfacilitied last year, both in terms of toilets and the size of skip we had.

This year we've taken a different approach and worked out the cost per person, per night, having made some calculated guesses from Friday and Saturday attendance last year along with a slight uplift in expected visitors. Taking this number into account we've worked out the volume of skip and number of toilets required, found the most competitive price (whilst maintaining quality) and gone with that.

In which case you may wonder why the limit on attendance? Camping at the show has always been an added extra for Retro Rides people, clubs attending and those in the know. Each year we've done a show the camping has got larger, we've decided to limit it for two reasons, firstly if it gets too big we believe it'll loose the friendly relaxed feeling it has at the moment and secondly more camping will mean higher prices as we'll need to bring in 3rd party security to cover the events.

We are aware that a price per person (rather than per pitch) will adversely affect those with families, we have tried to keep the rates as low as is financially possible, and for a full two nights and entry to the show we are still one of the cheapest events on the calendar that has track action.

So there you go, a little behind the scenes look at how/why our pricing structure changes and how we reach the numbers we do.
