Bushcraft Show costs - Timelord - 7 May 2012
Why is the Bushcraft show at Elvaston is such a Ripoff price for tickets. It is dearer than the Wilderness gathering and dosn't have anywhere near then same amount of stuff going on. In fact when you look down the list of demonstrations, a few of the traders are repeated twice.
This stinks. Smells of profiteering to me. Money is tight for most people at the moment and these prices are a joke. There is a lot of money made at these shows with traders pitch fees alone.
Another glaring point - some of the listed activities that your weekend ticket gives you - is swimming & canoeing on Lake Windermere. How the heck do they get Lake windermere in Cumbria mated up with Elvaston in derbyshire?? beats me!
£80 for a one adult weekend pass and that is only for from midday Friday onwards. £20 for a day pass. That is twice the amount of the Southern show for a day pass. Cmon....
Another thing. I have taken part in other types of shows over the years at Elvaston and the hosting society was paid to put the show on!!!
Access to FREE toilets included with your ticket. Whoopie doo! That is a legal requirement anyway. These guys could be used car salemen..
No, lets get this straight. It is £25 per adult on the gate for either then Saturday or the Sunday. That is 150% more than at the Wilderness gathering. They can kiss my ....
2 hours specialist instruction at the Bushcraft show is £35.
3 hours masterclass instruction at the Wilderness gathering is £18
I see a pattern forming here!
