I've only ever been to one FH fair - that was Bucks at Aylesbury last summer, and that was spread over two halls at a school.
To compare the two is not really possible. They were both very different.
The WDYTYA Show was very similar to the shows I have been to in the past such as Autosport, The Car Show, The Bike Show (all these at the NEC) - so pricing for tickets, coffee, sandwiches were all within my expectation. I did get 2 tickets for £20.
Live entertainment in the middle stand, a few celebs talking, things to see etc etc.
The idea of spliting up the stands into rough 'groups' was very good indeed, this made it much easier to look around.
The show itself was positioned between a 'traditional' FH Show and an 'all singing-all dancing' type of show you get in 2007.
It did very well indeed - I was very happy with what I got done - no chance to do any reasearch as such.
The feedback in the magazines will be interesting to see, as if they all knock it, then I'd doubt there would be a 2008 show. But if the majority is positive then I'd expect a 2008 Show.
They can improve the ticketing for the individual shows inside the hall, but it's difficault to know what to expect when you run the first show.
If anyone is going today, have a great time - and stay to the end !
