I got there at 9:15 with a pre-paid ticket. I eventually got into the hall at 10am. Had I not bought a ticket, the queue was 1/10th size and I would have been in 20 minutes earlier. Not sure that's how it was supposed to work?

Its been quicker not to pre-pay for a couple of years really. Even before Covid. Still not my favourite show. Its too small the autojumble is just too expensive nowadays

Totally agree.

 

I arrived at 9:30 and was amazed at the length of the pre-paid queue and the lack of a queue for those paying on the day.  I know what I will do in future, not pre-pay then if the weather is *******, I will simply not go.  Sort it Britsh Mini Club!

1st world problems…

Get there on time, grab a coffee on the way and have a 15 min chat in the que.

Simple really, best bingley i’ve been to in a while, lots of bargain gems on the autojumble.

Be grateful we still have the show, once it’s gone, it’s gone.

Sorry. I'll stop having an opinion until we've achieved world peace and a cure for cancer.

After everyone has read this thread and decided to pay on the door next year the pre paid queue will be empty 😁

Not sure if it's a fire reg, but there always seems tons of space for cars inside each year.

wouldn't be a good show if there were no cars or club area!

Probably should have quantified my statement 😂

When you eventually got in, was it worth it?

I was more annoyed that I had stood in the prepaid queue by mistake for ten mins! It was still round by the trade car park when I left it.

Then I sauntered in with a £20 note 😆
