sotal Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 I've not been to Billing before and fancied going down on the Saturday just for the day. So first of all do I generally need to book in advance or should I be OK to pay on the door? I've been on their website and see that it's £9 in advance or £10 on the day. I presume that is per day? They have an online ordering facility but if I select 2 Adults it brings up a total price of £0.00. Also it doesn't ask what day I want. So I'm not sure if I'm too late to book online? or if I'm just better buying when we get there? Is there any chance of it being fully booked?

sotal Posted July 9, 2008 Author Share Posted July 9, 2008 I figured it out now - you have to continue shopping - should learn to read! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madcowz Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 I figured it out now - you have to continue shopping - should learn to read! No, Their online ordering system is about the worst I have ever come across. If you had to shop for your food the same way it would involve taking a jar off the shelf, placing it in your trolley, going to the next aisle, filling the jar with jam, again placing it in your trolley. Then off to the lid section, take a lid off the jar and screw it on, place jar back in trolley and then try and find the aisle with the labels! I got so frustrated with their ordering system I couldn't be bothered buying tickets. I have a family of 5 and just couldn't face booking tickets, camping and offroad session so I emailed the E-commerce developers and gave them a 'subjective review of their system'.

sotal Posted July 9, 2008 Author Share Posted July 9, 2008 It isn't the best - took me a couple of goes and I am an E-commerce Developer! Got there in the end though, You just have to say how many people are in your party - that gets a charge of £0.00 You then have to click Continue Shopping - then choose what the people are going to do whilst there, and add that to the cart You then have to change the qty of the activity to match the number of people in the party You then have to Click Recalculate You then Click to go through to Google checkout and voila!

Godlykepower Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Geez, is it worth that much hassle for one measly pound saving!? I'll splurge the extra quid & get my tickets on the door thanks. What day is everyone tending to go on? Forum beer perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astro_Al Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 I plan to be there on the Saturday during the day (so you might want to avoid Saturday... ) Forum beer sounds good. I'll be using beer to repay favours throughout the day anyway Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godlykepower Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Looks like Saturday is the day then! I have all weekend free before I head off to the Pyrenees , so wasn't sure which day I wanted to go to Billing. Are we having a Sherry then? How do we all get to meet up??

GBMUD Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Si and I will be at the X-eng stand - whether either of us will get chance to abandon ship during the day is unlikely... But you know where to find us - bring beer! Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hattymender Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Good News: Wife insists I go to Billing! Bad News: 'Cos she wants to visit family in Milton Keynes. Deanshanger to be exact. Why is this bad news? 'Cos she won't do 140 miles each way in Hatty (I must admit 55mph cruising speed and knackered seats can be a little trying). The Moggy didn't go down well either. So we have to go in the Escort. Promise you won't laugh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
