Yep, probably going to do Sunday as well...actually hovering over the payment icon now plucking up courage to spend £57 when you can't buy the weather for the day.

Won't be going this year as need to keep an eye on the pennies at the moment, unless I land a couple of free tickets for the moving motor show as I have done in previous years....

edit/ any good spots to watch the vulcan from for free?

A little bit of my day-job will be in the air over Goodwood on the Sunday as the Typhoon is displaying : http://www.raf.mod.uk/typhoondisplay/displayprogramme/

You'll love it.
I can't actually remember the first year I went I think it was about 6+ years ago. I've been every year since..........it's a bit of pilgrimage.

I can proudly boast to have been to eighteen of nineteen and I am going again this year. I got in for free the first year, as I was eleven!

The only year I missed was the year the chap was killed.

Has anyone got their tickets yet, ordered my Friday ticket last week and no sign of it yet.
I guess they're probably trying to stop them appearing on eBay for inflated prices if they've sold out.

Those that are going are more than welcome to pop into mine, seeing as some off you might actually pass my gaff on the way.

Beer/Wine/Coffee/Tea all available

I'll give it till the weekend and then chase them if it hasn't turned up. I may have a funeral to go to yet so if that falls on Friday 12th I'll be offering my ticket at a reduced price.

Not been too FoS before, the past couple of times I wanted to go it was too close to the Le Mans trip fot me.

For thoee that have been before, is it a good day out?

A guy at work went last year and said it felt over crowded for the cost of tickets?

Its probably the best event you could ever attend in the UK if you're a petrolhead.

Get there by 8am, you'll still have not seen it all at 6pm. Yes it gets crowded but its bloody superb

What did he want, higher ticket prices to drive down demand? It's crowded because it is popular. It is popular because it is a great day out.

I have never found the volume of people prohibitive to seeing what I wanted. As Steve said, there's so much to see and do you need more than a day really.

Cool, sounds worthwhile then.

The guy goes to quite a few car shows which is why I asked him. He is old and miserable though!!

Always fancied going anyway, so maybe I'll see if I can get a couple of tickets for the Sunday!

Love FOS. I ran around last year getting autographs for my Daughter as she was too shy until I got suddenly grabbed hugged and kissed by a racing driver as he thought I was the wife of an old man taking a picture!. I was half his age! hehehe. My Daughter nr died of laughing and embarrassment (crazy mum!).

Lots of people but lots of fun to be had. (going Saturday)

Going to the moving motor show on Thursday as get free tickets - wonder if I'll bump into the PPP's this year?!

Going to Revival on the Saturday. Love both events but the Revival wins it for me as the racing is fantastic and I love some of the classics. Also enjoy the old planes with spits, hurricanes etc up in the air for most of the day

Not this year Greg, we're giving it a miss for once. Been to either the moving motor show or the FOS on the Friday for the last 3 or 4 years but short of holiday in the new job and saving whats left for house move mainly.

Will be back next year i'm sure
