Just can't do it, like I said, last year it was 59 for both nights for 2 people.
You can pay that sort of money if you're prepared to stay out a few miles. We stayed Warrington way last year & the commute was fine being the weekend.
I'll bring your flyers Tony.booked hotel, 158 for 3 nights

I booked 3 miles out at Salford IBIS last year as I best guessed the dates and used booking.com so free cancelation. even that hotel has doubled since then.
I'll be there as usual crazy kids,driving round picking up n dropping off machines,setting up all electrics for the pinball machines and machine repairs throughout week end and generally knocking my plumbs out along side the rest of nlp boys n girls........al hopfully to bring a smile to you folks faces!!!!
Such a star Dave!!!!
The "Lights out" lock-in is almost certain to be on again this year...you might want to include it in your plans people10 - 6 from previous years iirc. Recommend getting there early as often quite a queue for entry.And you want all the time you can get inside as there is soooo much going on as well as the pinball.
However there has also been a 'secret' NLP Sat night pinball session in recent years
Regards,
Dan.
i had fun setting this up, remember? you had to look up the centre of the playfield while i went and took a picture of you
guys - click on the RSVP thingy so i can see who's coming along

If I buy the discount tickets in advance do I get to avoid the queues?
Dont think you do, they are normally general admission tickets but a little cheaper

Maybe others can comment, but I'm pretty sure that the queues were quite manageable last year (for the first time ever!). The prepurchased tickets allow entry from 10am, and they put you into a fast queue
Non ticket holders start to enter at 11am, and that's a separate queue

The only way to dodge the queue is to go in the side door and say you're with the band. That's what I always do
The early bird tickets had practically no queue. About 2 mins queuing time.
Yes the only time really spent in the queue was waiting for opening time. They checked your ticket as you approached the queue and gave you your wristband then, so it was just a matter of showing your wristband as you walked in the door. Very well organised and I was inside within five minutes of opening, despite being well back in the queue.

I will be coming along on the Saturday and will be bringing R2 along to entertain the StarWars fans and play a little pinball.
Sorry for being slow but whats this R2 you have?

Before I started collecting pinballs I was busy building R2 and now he is finished a few members have asked if I can bring him along to the show.

Thats awesome Robert cant wait to see R2 D2
Well it looks like i'm in. Just bought tickets for me and a few friends and we're booked into Jurys Inn in Manchester for the Saturday night.
Yeah, i'm aware the place we're staying is a bit away from the venue, but we're hoping to drop the car there and get a taxi down to avoid the parking nightmare a little. Looking forward to it already.
No showing from R&B this year as it's still in bits, but i'm hopeful that the playfield will get shipped away for painting after the summer period is over, so perhaps I can try to drag it along next year. I realise these shows rely on owners donating their machines to play so i'd love to be able to give something back.
