I've been to a couple of these type of things, I wouldn't bother again. I just wait to see the reviews and pics on social media and the newspaper (MCN) I get every week. After that I go and visit a dealer, who will have a "new season event" on usually. For free, with food and drinks provided, free, parking and so on. That's my time to sit on bikes and try things out, and it is local. That's the way it should be done. These type of shows are just media scrums. Parking should be free for bikes as a minimum, tickets should be cheaper. They are charging you to go into a venue and try and sell you bikes and gear when it comes down to it, so thanks but no thanks.
