Reading back on older posts is the jury still out as to whether you can get into Crufts early if you have a spectator ticket but go in through the dog doors?

I would have thought you could. Lets say a dog exhibitor takes a friend who is only spectating, those on the door are hardly going to say you cant go in...well thats what I think anyway.

If I remember correctly a few yrs back I bought my ticket on line, but they would not let me in through the dog does ( went with friend ) I had to wait till 8. .30 till the spectators doors opened... You could always try though you might just sneak by.

Last year i was given a ticket, can't remember what type though, but I was allowed in with a friend who was exhibiting (I think holding one of her dogs helped!).

Golden Retriever bitches are being judged from 8.00am so I think they would have to let you in by then.
