British Shooting Show 2025 £££££
- Thread starter TonyC
- Start date
Compared to the Stalking show at £15.00 per ticket, i know which one ill be going to, The Stalking show has been getting better and bigger each year it runs, were the Shooting show used to be good when it was at Newark in the early years, but in my opinion went down hill when it ended up at the NEC
Lot more visitors ?

Utterly pointless show for me.
Stalking show way better, lets hope they keep the hot tubs away.

Show prices like this is getting ridiculous it's not like your getting anything in return like as you would going to see a comedy or singing show.
So what do you get in return from a comedy or singing show?
Entertainment. An intangible benefit.
So you've got nothing to show for it (no pun intended).

Use them or lose them, cost is about 4 cups of Starbucks latte.

may be the same principle, years back was involved in having a stand at a engineering show. That got more and more expensive every year. The show organiser said they took the cost of running the show, hall hire, their staff present to then determine the cost to them of putting on the show.
They calculated the attending trade stand costs to cover the costs of putting on the show.
Then every ticket sold was profit, the risk being very few buy tickets to attend resulting in unhappy traders in attendances or lots of tickets sold very happy traders and a nice profit for the organisers.

I went a couple of years ago. It was just like a big shop. We got there at 10 and we're in the car at 1 on the way home.
I like a show with some side attractions, fishing demos, dog trials etc.
I did see a couple of interesting bits but I won't be going back in a hurry.

Dickie I think that it may be the other way around, have you seen the prices on caravans and motor homes?Because poor people have motorhomes and caravans but rich people have guns
And they are a money pit that loose money at a pretty alarming rate, at least you can't say that about guns if you buy wisely and look after them.
We do get on well as you are not on my ignore listTim you're a tight arse like me, I think that we would get on.
