seashell Posted January 18, 2017 Author Share Posted January 18, 2017 (edited) I usually stay in Walton on Thames and get the train up from there. Looks like there is going to be engineering works which will make it impossible to get the overground from Clapham Junction to Olympia! Bugger. I'm now looking at perhaps staying in Richmond. Train from there to Wilseden Green and then overground. Just thought I would mention it in case anyone else is thinking of getting the overground from Clapham Junction.

Merton Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I'll be there on the Saturday! Whoop I think this is the first year I'm actually travelling alone (so far) and don't have to run away for a gig, or to pick up my son, or indeed to take him somewhere other than the London bass show haha. He survived an hour last year... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downdown Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Will there be the usual deafening slap-fest demos this year? Will probably give my ears a rest this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frazerjt Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 This'll be my first time this year! I always forgot to get tickets. And this year I've magically ended up with two. So I have one for sale at a discount price if someone's interested. But more importantly I'd love to get a low down on what to look out for especially or any tips people may have. Like don't take a credit card for example.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obbm Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Well I just tried to buy a ticket in the name of my company, Rock-Wire Limited, but because I do not have a VAT number I was unable to do so. Not all companies are registered for VAT. Also the ticket web site is a dreadful design, asking for the same information to be entered 3 times and putting a time limit on data entry. Not a good way to encourage people to buy tickets. {/rant] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verb Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 I wasn't going to go this year, I've been the last 3, but I was given tickets for both days for Chrimbo, so I guess I'll be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Life's too short, some of my old sites (I build the blighters for a living) are shocking by modern standards but some punters just think 'if it ain't broke / why pay more' etc. Saying all that, l I'm really looking forward to it!

cetera Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Looking forward, as always to seeing and playing the new Spector basses..... maybe the new GK Plex..... and definitely the new Darkglass amp. Apart from that, I will have earplugs in and desperately trying to avoid the slapfest nonsense it normally descends into.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
