Does anyone know if there are any special deals available at any central London hotels in association with the show? Perhaps at the exhibition hotel itself? I seem to recall this happening in past years.

I'm sure the ticket also gives you access to the Best of Stuff show, which will have a playable PS3! Darn why isn't it held in Scotland!!!

[danny daniell]

Why are the tickets so expensive? The recent Heathrow show cost £8 & the year before that tickets were given away free with the purchase of Hi-Fi News magazine.

Why London AGAIN?????????????

There are other UK venues which are much cheaper and accessible than ******* London again. Or do the rest of us not matter?

Yes the ticket does give you access to the Best of Stuff Show and you are right we will have a playable PS3 there.

You will find that the What Hi-Fi? Show is one of the biggest Hi-Fi and Home Entertainment shows in the uk and therefore warrants the extra ticket price, plus as mentioned above the ticket also gives you access to the Best of Stuff Show

let me think ... London is the capital city, the South East of England is the most densely populated part of the UK and most of all it is by far the most affluent. It's not rocket science!

Amen

Well I'll be there on Friday with a couple of mates from work. Travelling up from the South Coast via car (to half way house ), then train and tube. I went last year for the first time, and I think the price warrents the experience. There really is a lot to see and hear, especially if you get their early and get to spend some quality time there

[Phil Hinton]

Podcast team will be there and would like to meet you to get your comments on the show

What Hi Fi Show London 2006
The AV Podcast team will be attending the What Hi Fi show in London on the 4th and 5th of November. If you are going to the show and you see us walking around (You can't miss me I will have the portable recorder, mic and headphones on, and probably wearing my favourite dts jacket - yes I am sad) come and say hello and have your comments about what you have seen recorded for the Podcast. We will also try to hold a roundtable meeting in a bar or other area near the venue which you are welcome to take part in, more details on this in the next day or so.
We are hoping to get as many interviews with manufacturers talking about their kit as possible so those who can't make it can still enjoy the sights (will be taking a camera) and sounds on the day.

Is this place in the congestion charge zone?

[Simian Sibling]

Nope we should be there Sunday as well, depends how much of the show we cover in the first day and going by experience that's never achievable, so keep an eye out for us, would love to hear your comments.
