Rob Wigley Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Just a quickie, we heard last night a group of people had booked their B&Bs but not bought tickets for the weekender thinking they could pay on the door. PLEASE PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THERE ARE ONLY LIMITED TICKETS LEFT, do not turn up expecting to pay on the door as this event is nearly sold out. The Bridlington Box office HAVE tickets, but are slowly working their way through the list on the answering machine service. Myself and karen have 12 tickets here at home for sale, Glynn Sissions has 8, Night nurse had 6 at last contact, not sure on others, John Kane has less than 10 two weeks ago. This venue is not going to be "Oversold" once the tickets are gone thats it ! If you are intending to come buy a ticket (quickly) before its too late Karen & Rob. Link to comment
