hi all
does anyone know how long i have to book tickets for crufts i want to go for the 4 days

You can book tickets for Crufts by calling the NEC Box Office Ticket Hotline on 0870 909 4133, or via their website www.necgroup.co.uk  I believe you receive a discount if you purchase tickets for all four days, in advance. Of course you can always pay on the 'door' on the day too.

As for hotels I'd start searching now as many will be booked, and the price may increase nearer the time!

Good Luck :)

Also if your child is a member of the YKC and they renew there membership in january then the child gets if free over the 4 days! (thats why im going twice :D)

Only twice sarah?  I'm going all 4 days!

Season ticket also works to give to your parents days your not going but they are!!! :D

If you go to the kennel club website then click on Crufts and then box office you can order there.  There are 4 day tickets that are cheaper.

Quick reminder folks that closing date is tomorrow the 7th for Cruft entries

is that just for showing or does that include tickets too

Just show entries close sorry, tickets can be bought right up to the time and a pay on entry also is avaliable providing tickets are left on the day. :-)

can any1 recommend a cheap hotel

going for the first time this year and cant wait.  Going on the Sunday to see the final and the working and pastoral groups.

I heard a lot of news last year about people not being able to get in because of the traffic queues.  Can anybody recommend a time to get up there.  I know it opens at 9 but I would rather be there early and not miss a thing.

Hi
I'm going to crufts for the 1st time this year!!, my 10yr old daughter is going with me as a special treat-I booked today on-line with the k.c. We are only going on the Friday (toy & utility)the tickets stated opens at 08.15, I was hoping to get the train, can anyone tell me if the train station is anywhere near the NEC?
Sorry Georgina I don't know of any local hotels..

Yep, the railway station is within the NEC complex.
:)

Thankyou..

Didn't hear about the getting in trouble (no more then norm) but there was trouble getting out!!!!

Get their whenever you like, it doesn't seem to make a difference what time you get there, it still takes along time, just leave with plenty of spare time :)

Hi there was trouble getting in at least one of the days because of the NEC being double booked last year, heard about some exhibitors who missed their classes because of it.  Hopefully that wont happen this year as its not booked with anything else.Gillian

Central Guest house on Conventry Road 0121 7067757 is cheap, there are quite a few on Coventry road and it is just 2 mins from NEC

We stayed at The Inn keepers last year and they room was very nice, food was good etc  Also on Coventry road just 2 mins.
