Hi there. I wonder if Anybody knows when all the programmes, including the Canon programme, will be out? I usually only go for 1 day and don't want to book the wrong day. ( I searched to see if anybody had started this thread and nothing came up.)
thats right its the one at the NEC in March . It was formally Focus on Imaging.What's this? Is this the one hosted in Birmingham?

Is this for show tickets, or hotel discounts?@Geoff Moore - Yes they are - Just google "photography show 2017 discount code" and you'll see a few different ones. For example Nikon have "NIKTPS17". They usually seem to end "17" but if you see one for a previous year you could always try changing 15 or 16 to 17
I do but not only to try lenses but also for the 5 point clean that ACS do for £40.Do people bring there cameras to test out stuff there?
Tim, It gives you £3 entry per person for daily tickets. I think you may find better bargains elsewhere on the internet for £3 off a hotel room though LOL.
Also it's worth doing a search from previous year's threads on TP for alternatives to the £12 parking fee at the NEC.
Last year I parked in the rail station carpark I can't remember the exact figure but I know it was a lot cheaper, and it's a short walk over the bridge to the exhibition hall.Tim, It gives you £3 entry per person for daily tickets.

I got my trade pass, just wondered if there was a discount for hotels nearby. I've booked the premier inn now, so only a 30min walk. Think I'm going to take my massive holdall with me though in case I get trigger happy with the credit card.
Excellent. I will PM you my details.I've now got my trade pass and will be attending talks Sunday PM and Monday Tuesday AM. I'm also staying in the Premier Inn Sunday & Monday if you fancy meeting up for a beer?
Earlier in the thread I said that last year I parked at Birmingham International because it was a lot cheaper, well I just checked it's the same £12 during the week and £9 at the weekendFree parking at Marston Green station - train for nominal fee takes 2 min to NEC. Don't feed the greedy car parks.
P.S. Anyone got their tickets yet?
No. Still waiting for mine to turn up. Getting itchy now.Free parking at Marston Green station - train for nominal fee takes 2 min to NEC. Don't feed the greedy car parks.

I was browsing the ticket prices for this and my missus saw me and said stop don't buy cuz I already bought u tickets for your Valentine's day lol. Surprise!Yes, for some reason you see people laden with camera equipment trudging round a trade show. And if there's a hint of a female model it's like a charging herd of elephants.
Lucky man you are [emoji5]️I was browsing the ticket prices for this and my missus saw me and said stop don't buy cuz I already bought u tickets for your Valentine's day lol. Surprise!

If you're visiting the Photography Show on Saturday or Sunday ... might be worth a visit to Birmingham Comic Con which is also on the same weekend. Lots of Cosplayers like having their photo taken if you like to do that kind of thing.Do people bring there cameras to test out stuff there?

I remember years ago (back in the early 90s) when Jessops used to run the NEC photo show one year it was the same weekend as Clothes Show Live and you could borrow lenses (basically a refundable CC scan for the cost of the lens) from people like Sigma to test out for the day at the fashion shows.
are those free to attend?
Yes they are free stand talks. Usually it's a case of getting to them early enough to get a seat or room to stand. Nikons stand was open on all sides last year whilst canons was like an enclosed theatre.are those free to attend?
