Southern Airshow Visits

Post by jeallen01 » Mon May 09, 2016 11:28 am

Good afternoon

Having failed to get a late ticket for Shuttleworth yesterday, I've been thinking a bit more about what I want to in view of the fact that my wife is often not well enough to come along on the day.

Coming to the conclusion that I will have to buy 2x tickets to each of the shows I want to visit (see list below) and then, if it looks like she won't be able to come, I'll post here and on the Pentax User forum on the day before that I have a spare ticket for sale at the price I paid for it (+share of the booking fee where appropriate) - then first come first served and I will hand over the ticket on the day (which could prove difficult as it means that we will have to arrange a place to meet up before the show), and so, preferably, try to email the electronic ticket the night before to whoever showed up first to express their interest.

In either case, I will trust the prospective buyers to honour their commitment to purchasing, even if they then can't come along for any reason. Payment will normally be required by BT or Paypal Gift in the evening before, or cash on the day in extremis.

Does that sound sensible?

Also, if anyone wants to "put their name down" for a particular show in advance, then please see the list below. However, please remember that my wife has first call on it and thus that a ticket will only be available if she can't use it.

Here is the list:
May
14th/15th _ Stow Maries Vintage Flying Event (advance tickets only) http://www.stowmaries.org.uk/calendar/6 ... ying-event - booked for Saturday 14th (not Sunday 15th as previously stated.)

June
• 6th June – Shuttleworth – Fly Navy – before 30th May for lower prices, http://www.shuttleworth.org/
• 11th June – Biggin Hill Festival of Flight (advance tickets only) http://www.bhfof.com - this is a "maybe"
• 19th June – RAF Cosford - advance tickets only - http://www.cosfordairshow.co.uk/intheair.php - this is a "maybe" but probably unlikely due to the distance from London
