kingcarr21 Posted 22 September 2015 Posted 22 September 2015 Watching the Gadget Show last night and they have their live show at the NEC next year. Was thinking of going and just wondered if anybody else had ever been to the show? VIP is £160 but normal entry is approx £20 and the live show is £11-£32 (depending where you sit) Bit of a long shot but has anyone been? Is VIP worth it? Thanks
Wakeyfox Posted 22 September 2015 Posted 22 September 2015 I took my lad to this about 5 years ago when he was about 9. It was pretty good (if you're into that kind of thing!). The live show bit was good, got a picture with Polly (who was delightful), saw loads of new stuff that was coming out, had a chat with Dion Dublin who was there on a stand with his jube (?) and came away with a big bag full of freebies (although not really worth anything). Not sure what the VIP gets you so no idea if it would be worth it. We went again the following year and everything was pretty much the same and came away feeling a little disappointed, so maybe good as a one-off thing.

JamesO Posted 22 September 2015 Posted 22 September 2015 I went a while back. It was a good day out i really enjoyed it. I would like to go again its just i think it would be the same every year. ( As WakeyFox has just said). If i can remember the food prices at the place were expensive as you expect really. Few people took a backpacks with them with some food and drink inside, I would do that next time if i went.
