Car park passes

[Matt]

Hi all,

When I booked our tickets back in January I included 2nr car park passes but these aren't attached to the email. Does anyone know if they're issuing/emailing passes or it was just a way of establishing numbers? There's nothing on their FAQ's and a Google search brought up different answers.

Thanks

Matt

Ditto Matt!

I'm sure I ticked the box/filled in the form saying I was going by car :

I'm not panicking though.

There was a post on the RIAT website saying car parking passes are not needed or included when you bought your ticket. Also UKAR raised the point during their interview with Andy Armstrong

Concerns about new aspects of the 2015 show have already begun to appear on our forums, especially around the advent of “car park passes” and, thanks to the relocation of the Disabled Enclosure together with the creation of the First Class Lounge, the apparent removal of public access to the Blue Zone crowd line without paying extra. We put these concerns to Andy and Tom, there responses certainly put us at ease, and we hope they do for you too.

So, why have car parking passes been introduced this year? They have already caused a great deal of confusion and concern.

"The reason why we have asked people if they are going to bring a car is to plan our traffic. We will know how many cars are likely to heading from which direction so we can plan accordingly.

"You do not need a pass to get in, please drive and keep driving as we need you in the car parks as quickly as possible. People who have already bought a ticket will have a car pass but we have now changed the website where you just tick you are bringing a car. You no longer need to print off anything extra as you don't need it." AA

Pity they don't give a discount for non-car attendees; instead we pay the same and have to stump-up for the cost of the shuttle bus.

Surely it would assist their traffic management to persuade as many people onto the buses as possible, but there's no financial incentive for attendees.

Thanks for clearing that up. Roll on Friday
