Trade tickets are good .... mucho cheapo, you get in on trade day and you can use them on another day too.

You do have to show that you are a bona-fide motorcycle trade company to get them though.

You'll need a passport style photo of yourself for a trade ticket and a proper bike related company to buy it through.

It's much better if you can get in then though, Debz got her OZ's on a trade day visit so there's bargains to be had before the smellies turn up and let their kids smear ice cream and snot all over everything.

Seeing as Debz' job is going OK now and we haven't had a holiday this year she's treating us to a few days in Milan this November and we have a couple of trade tickets for the bike show there courtesy of Shiny Bike Syndrome.

Ah yes.. Remember going a few years ago and having to get a photo done. I'll ask me mate with the classic spares biz n' see if he'd like to go. Seam to remember it being slightly more expensive that a normal show ticket.. Could be wrong though.. It was a few years ago the last time I went.

Nope - they are considerably cheaper than those purchased by the hoy palloy.
.... and even better value when the company buys it for you ...

They do restrict them to 4 per company though ... or was it 6 ... no I think it was 4 ...... oh I'll find out when I register for this year

Trade Tickets are different this year - I sorted them out for work today.

They are now half their previous price (£5 now) but only cover one day (previously covered Trade Day plus one other).

From what I can work out, there doesn't seem to be a trade day any more but the show spans more days.

As before, you have to justify that your company is genuinely involved in the motorcycle trade and each company is limited to 4 tickets per company address.

Other than that, public tickets are £15 in advance and £17 on the door.

Aprilia should be top of the list as (WSB) World Champions.
P.S.
Just think about the updated stickers on new RSV4s.
