was wondering whether to go or not as is just after my bday and YHL is just too difficult to get to for me.
So do you all think it will be worth it!? Esp as i have just looked at the tickets prices, of course i want to go on the Sat and see the Express Eventing so i have to get the most expensive tickets!
Does anyone know of any discounts, vouchers etc for tickets? Cheeky i know but then more cash to spend on the girlie :p
 
I just paid full price (and obviously most expensive day!). Didn't think to wait for bogof tickets, silly me! I know Your Horse do them but i've never seen them offered for Olympia and kinda figured Horse World Live was more like that than Your horse? Might be wrong. All I remember seeing when I bought tickets was that its cheaper to buy now than on the door.
 
I won 2 tickets for the Friday and am now wondering if I can bear to pull a sicky and go! Really really want to but will feel soooooo guilty!! I haven't been off ill since starting there a year ago so not like I take the mickey but still..... Would also have to pretend my daughter is ill to get out of school and come too lol!
 
I'm going! There's nothing much in the south east like this and so hopefully if we all support it in its first year it might take off! Really lookingforward to the express eventing! I think they have a £10 off offer at the moment
 
They have £10 off?? Gah thats annoying... oh well. Still excited... cant wait to go shopping!!! Does anyone know who they have going in terms of exhibitors?
 
does anyone know what the parking situation is like please? i'll be coming from Kent and I dont know whether to drive - better for shopping till dropping, or to get the train? Tonker121 I think they have a list of exhibitors on facebook, quite impressed by how many followers they've got, loads more than your horse live!
 
Parking is underneath the venue so on plus side don't have to walk far with bags of shopping BUT its expensive, can't remember how much around £15 or £20 - ouch but you don't need to pre-book.
There was an accident blocking the car park road once so parked for free in hotel car park 10min walk away but not sure if you'll get away with this or not.
 
So we won tickets too, at a team dressage event - none of us can go Friday because we all work (to support our horses!):) - the tickets stated all 3 days and we were just going to turn up with them but one of our team wanted to see if we had a seat with our entrance ticket. We couldn't go on the Sunday either as we have a Side Saddle AGM meeting (we all rode dressage side saddle at the team competition). So we contacted the organisers who although on the email chain first of all said Friday and Saturday and then changed it Friday or Sunday are now refusing to let us go Saturday and were pretty rude with it to boot quote "As I stated in my last two emails - these tickets are for Friday and Sunday only".- well the first email stated Friday and Saturday, blaming BD for not getting hold of us! , quote "I can't hand out the name from the BD that tried to contact you, as I feel it is irrelevant now.
I'm sure you understand that we are in the run up to the show and very busy," - aren't we still customers who deserve a bit of time, yes, we may have won tickets but we would have still spent money there? , And they won't tell us who from BD was supposed to contact us which makes me think no one at all so we can't go and we were so looking forwards to it! The tickets stated all 3 days and it would have been nice if they could have dealt with it in a more friendly approach, bad HorseWorld Live People! :mad:
