NBAA/EBACE massively overcharge and that keeps many away which is gradually diminishing the worth of the event.
In all my years I NEVER had to pay for a ticket as the Manufacturers kindly gave me one.... I dont understand this NBAA/EBAA bashing as the cost for a ticket for 3 days on their website is only 194 Euro... That is less than 3 days Disneyland
But again apart from the hotel cost our company still sees it as a great way to see a lot of people and we paid the same cost for attending the Paris Air Show and EBACE cost us far less than the Farnborough Air Show.. Both Farnborough and Paris cost us more in taxis than GVA in hotels let alone the time spend in taxis
