I enjoy cars.
I have only been to the festival once. It was brilliant to fly into Goodwood, miss all the traffic (which I gather can be horrendous) and be bused into the show ground via the VIP entrance. On that occasion the service was first class.
However that said, the "show ground" was packed with car manufacturers predalling their cars and the hill climb, whilst interesting, was for me hardly exciting. Setting aside the cost (and of course the entertainment of the hill climb) I am not convinced I want to pay that much to visit a "trade" exhibition when I can visit dealers show rooms for nothing.
Of course that is just my personal view and I fully appreciate an awful lot of people consider it very good value. Goodwood are entitled to charge whatever they like - and ultimately if people consider they are charging to much they will not go.
Personally I think the Revival far surpasses this event.
