Who do you think you are live

Again this is coming up and I wish there would be an offer other than 2 tickets for one
As my wife is not keen, and I don't want to pay £25, don't think I will go

Single tickets are £15 from their website, if that helps.

Well, yes, but that also applies to other ticket options, such as the £25 "Two for One" quoted.
Annoying though the tranaction fee is, I was more flagging up that the "Two for One (for £25)" offer is not quite that, when you can get "One for £15", which seems to be standard, rather than an offer.
"Two for One" alludes to Half Price, when in fact paying £25 for a £30 product is not that.

Another offer for cheap tickets
http://www.ancestry.co.uk/cs/uk/who-do-you-think-you-are-live-2013

This would be £15 including the transaction fee.  :)

I will be going on my own on two days. ( Sat and Sun) I am not impressed either with the ticket  "offers"  nor the organising of the bookings for workshops , all seems a bit hit and miss. I have reserved 2 workshops but not over impressed. Why not a 2 day ticket? I am sure I can't be the only one going for 2 days!
As I live in Yorkshire, by the time I have factored in my travel and hotel it gets a bit expensive, even though I have taken advantage of early booking discounts etc good job spouse is understanding!

I have planned a very "long weekend trip" Thursday to Tuesday so I can go to LMA and TNA whilst there, then a meeting with daughter and a theatre trip....  so i I will be shattered by the time I get home....

Hi All

I have often wondered why this show has to be based in London EVERY year.  Why can't it be on a rolling rota - For example: 1 year London, next Birmingham, next Manchester, Scotland then back to London again.  You get the idea.  I think far more people who have never been would get the opportunity to visit the show and perhaps some new exhibitors and lecturers.

I am trying to arrange to go this year but it is always so difficult (and expensive) to organise.  I have been checking out some of the exhibitors and speakers for this year  - a lot seem to be our American cousins why is that? They are not speaking on American topics. ???

We're going to be there this year!

We've got a stand at the 'WDYTYA-Live 2013 ' to say how brilliant and generous with their time all the RootsChatters are!

It would be really brilliant if you introduce yourself to us, so we can say hello and have a good natter!
