seashell Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 [quote name='Cosmo Valdemar' timestamp='1361190898' post='1982403'] I am attending both days - my first time. I will probably hover about the place looking very awkward and be too embarrassed to speak to anyone or try anything out. The credit card is definitely staying at home. [/quote] I was hovering embarassedly last year! My advice is to get yourself into some performances and Masterclasses - then you can just blend in with everyone else and don't actually need to speak, lol Seriously though, no need for embarassed hovering this year thanks to ped and bluejay for arranging the 'BC Corner'. We can lurk around there and team up with people if we feel awkward about doing things on our own. Cosmo - I'll add you to the list next time I update it. Will wait till I get a little batch to do together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalehernando Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Unfortunately not going to be able to make it after all. Just got our first flat so need to save as much money as possible for a little while! Next year definitely for me though!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvia Bluejay Posted February 18, 2013 Author Share Posted February 18, 2013 Congrats Hernando - you need to have your priorities right, don't you. But hopefully we'll be at the LBGS again next year, and we'll want to meet you and your partner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Leaving the credit card at home only works while you're at the show...that won't make you safe...you'll get home with "[i]I need one of those[/i]" jumping around you head, you'll be straight onto this site and in the "For Sale" thread...

molan Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Not sure if this is the correct place to post this but I've managed to uncover some guest passes that give free entry to the show, through Bass Gear in Twyford, and they are being given away via the Bass Gear Facebook page. All you have to do is 'Like' the page and then send an email to BG as per the instructions you'll see there. https://www.facebook.com/BassGearUK There's no commitment to do anything other than to like the page & subscribe to the monthly newsletter so I hope I'm not breaking any rules (mods - tell me if this is a problem).

MarshallBTB Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Just got my ticket for the Sunday. Haven't been to either of the guitar shows in a few years now, looking forward to it. I'm not a really regular poster on here but I shall make my way over to the stand and say hello Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
such Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 are the tickets for performances paid separately? Or do they just hand them out due to limited seating? I'm not sure if I understand... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvia Bluejay Posted February 23, 2013 Author Share Posted February 23, 2013 (edited) From what I understand there won't be any tickets. Last year, visitors were supposed to collect free tickets from certain stands, but this was scrapped at the last moment, and we were simply told to queue at the door of the auditorium or place where the masterclass or gig was happening. This is very likely to be this year's setup as well. Edited February 23, 2013 by bluejay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you wanna go into the main stage to see the live performances you will need a ticket. NOT the ticket you used to get into the show, a different ticket, but don't worry, they're free. It's just that we can't let everyone in the auditorium so have it ticketed. Get them from the main Bass Guitar magazine stand near the entrance. This also means exhibitors too! Sorry to be a ball-buster but you have no idea how many people we can't let into the performances every year cos of this so at least if you all know and can pass the message on! thanks!

Just wondering whether public transport would be preferable? Or cheaper! [/quote] There's a multi-story behind the conference centre, I parked there last time I went (2011). I've just checked on-line, and the cost is £25 for a day if you pre-book.. jeez... I regularly work in London and always come in from the M4, and park at Hounslow West tube station, which costs about £5 for the day, then get the tube in on a 1 day travel card for about £8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
