The train tickets are booked and I should have them available at this week's club meeting on 11 January.

We will be on the 9:23 service leaving from Euston on 18 March and returning from Birmingham International on the 18:20 train.

For those who will be making their own return arrangements, the cost for the single fare to Birmingham International is £6. For those returning with the main group, the return ticket is £12.

Individuals will be responsible for booking their entry tickets to the show. The discounted train fares I have obtained are conditional on those travelling having a valid entry ticket for the show, but that is effectively a given as the advance booking price is cheaper than buying on the door.

Hi Mike,

Have you actually ordered the tickets yet. Only I would like to join the group, if it's not too late. Otherwise, I'll go up under my own steam and meet you all there.

Hi Dave

As per my previous post, I purchased the tickets a day or so ago. I will drop you a PM with seat numbers to allow you an opportunity to purchase adjacent seats. There was plenty of availability a couple of days ago, so you might be OK if you are quick.

I think that the link which I originally gave to obtain the NEC discount for the Virgin train fare when purchasing Advanced tickets has changed since I posted it. The new one is below in case anyone else wants to buy their own tickets. Should anyone want the information, I can send a PM with details of the seats which I booked so that they can sit nearby if they wish.

I am sure your friend will understand that there are priorities. ;)

I have received an offer from the organisers of a group admission price of £9.76 for five or more people. If we have sufficient numbers who have not yet bought their tickets, we have the opportunity of a small discount. I have yet to buy mine, so that leaves just four more. :)
