I'll pm you as soon as they're taking bookings Les, it appears that there is loads of room and no need to Panic Cap'n Mainwaring

 

[Les]

Thanks @Popeye no panic

 

[Brisey]

Do I need to fill in Jims form now or wait until we have booked

Best wait until you have booked before filling in Jims attendance form.

can anyone tell me how much it cost to stay for the week i looked on booking site and it said 90pounds is that right with motorhome fun club regards mervyn

 

[Zilevets]

I paid £90 for the week, I booked the club camping then next page you chose which club then pay, the ticket didn't show Motorhome fun but just said club camping.

It did crash twice whilst I was booking last night then when it showed click here for printable ticket it showed page under construction but I did receive email so printed from that.

Hope that helps you.

Liz

 

[middle east driver]

Yep I thought it was steep but I guessed it was because of the race being on the Tuesday, maybe someone will come on later that's already booked and let us know if they got it cheaper.

Liz

 

[middle east driver]

Hi carol yes I thought it was a bit costly I.ll just wait and see of anyone has paid less
How are you both keeping well I hope
Mervyn

 

[Zilevets]

I've just been on their site again and pre booked tickets are £90 but on the day gate price is £100 that's arriving Monday.

Maybe we are paying for the work they were doing on web site and the lucky ones were the ones that booked earlier.

Liz

 

[middle east driver]

Maybe Liz but I don't know about you but I think that price is alot they have put the cost up alot since last year I don't mind paying but would have thought it had been a bit cheaper

Carol, I spoke to Stone Leisure earlier today, and "apparently" the £90 fee for the full week's camping, reflects the larger exhibition than of previous years, with much more to be viewed this year.

I commented on the horrendous experience with trying to make an online booking on the Ticket Quarter website, which for me also crashed twice, causing me to phone them to enquire whether or not my payment had gone through, not once, but possibly twice. I was kept on hold for so long without receiving a suitable answer, that I terminated the call.

The online booking was quoted at £90.50 after accepting an e ticket via email, however, the price quoted from the Ticket Quarter operative, was over £100. NO WAY JOSE.

I got so peed off with the process, that I got back in touch with Stone Leisure. The very pleasant young lady (can't remember her name) was quite shocked by what she was hearing, and fortunately, handled the ticket purchase on my behalf.
As far as I am concerned, Ticket Quarter are taking the pi##.

Anyway, @Jim and @Brisey, Rita and I are booked and paid, and your form filled in (probably twice due to a dodgy internet connection).

Regards,

Jock.

I had an email from them yesterday about the new name and the large price hike ... Funsters should not pay more than £76.50 If I'd paid more then I'd be asking for a refund of the difference.

Hi Jim,

I hope your well. Just a quick update about The Motorhome shows.

The Motorhome show will now be called Camperex. Following the success of January, our shows have been re-branded and expanded to feature motorhomes, campervans, caravans, awnings, tents and all things outdoor and camping related. There will be lots more going on throughout the weekend than ever before with day and evening entertainment, interactive exhibits, live music & games areas.

In regards to the June show - With all the new changes - ticket prices have gone up to £100 for the week when paying on arrival (GULP), however this goes down to £90 when booked in advance and we have a special motorhome fun promo code: FUNSTEREX that will provide an additional 15% off camping tickets whether booking over the phone or online, bringing the price down to £76.50 for the entire week. Thought you might want to pass this code onto members?

...snip...

 

[Zilevets]

Just been on to Stratford about the tickets as I paid £90 for mine they told me they couldn't refund the difference as the ticket was already purchased but as I told them it was an e ticket there wasn't anything they needed to change just refund the difference.

They still claim that's not possible so I have sent an email to customer services explaining that I feel penalised by finding their site up and running and so I booked before Jims email.

They've replied by telling me they will deal with the enquiry within 10 days, so will keep an eye out for their answer.

Liz

Jim where do we phone to get the price of £76.50 please?

 

[JockandRita]

Funsters should not pay more than £76.50 If I'd paid more then I'd be asking for a refund of the difference.

I didn't pay the fee Ticket Quarter were asking, but only paid the £76.50 via Stone Leisure's office.

Cheers,

Jock.

Not sure if I did it right, but price was the same at least, the link in my quote, with discount code FUNSTEREX from Jims post, that was an online option though, but guess there might be a phone number on the web site

Option to pay for any start day from Monday on that's why mine was so much cheaper

 

[JockandRita]

I didn't pay the fee Ticket Quarter were asking, but only paid the £76.50 via Stone Leisure's office.

And as a result, I've now received a very pleasant email from Lauren Bath, with my e-ticket attached.

If any problems with Ticket Quarter, try Lauren on 020 8302 6150.

Cheers,

Jock.

 

[funflair]

Good idea Jock, tried the ticket web site and got as far as £76.50 with FUNSTEREX code and then it said "essential maintenance" please try again.

Life's too short to be messing around all day with dodgy web sites so will phone when we get home.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that feels that way Martin. Rita thought I was being a tad hasty.
Ticket Quarter don't appear to be running their website ticket facility, in the best interests of Camperex (Stone Leisure).

Cheers,

Jock.

Customer service has just refunded £13.50 for my tickets that I paid £90.00 for.

Anyone who paid full amount needs to email them and then they will issue a new e ticket.

[Evans Above]

Tickets bought for £76.50 + 50p eTicket from TicketQuarter using the discount code Jim posted "FUNSTERSEX".
Straight through first go without hassle so they have got it sorted out. eTickets are supposed to arrive about 10 days before the event!!!

Just going to Jim's Rally Marshall form to order the Bacon Butties and we're done. Can't wait loved this show last year.

 

[Evans Above]
