You can but it costs more and you have to queue for them, the show is MASSIVE! try and get there early and it will take a full day to try and see it all, thats without watching any resto demonstrations or live stage wheeler dealers etc. MASSIVE! all indoor walk round in a t shirt all day.

Im not suggesting anyone does it but....if you google nec 2014 club code or similar you will probably find a forum being discussed where the stands code is revealed, use it when booking and you save about £2 a ticket, you get a print out slip and the club gets a pound back for each one so we always put them in that clubs box on their stand.
