We loved it. It was our first card show and now we want to go to one every week. Had the best time and met some incredible people. Will be back next year for sure.

It was my first ever cards show and the atmosphere and vendors was all nice and respectful was very helpful when coming to trade or sell my cards was very good will definitely be coming to more in the future 😊❤️

Customer photo review of General Admission Tickets

Great con, though it did feel like some more empty space could have benefitted, just to spread out some more. More seating areas, and clearer signage for food, toilets etc would be beneficial, but otherwise I had a fantastic time and spent far too much money for my first big convention. The vendors were all varied, and I found plenty to purchase. See you at CCV!

Customer photo review of General Admission Tickets

Our first card con. It was awesome. And my wife had a lucky box and got 1/5 of KAKA from a Real Madrid box. Shout out to STATE BOX

General Admission Tickets

The Topps stand had nothing but flagship football. i was hoping to buy other ranges at retail price

VIP Tickets

Really fun, super well organised and spaced out so nothing was cramped or too crowded around vendors. Well ventilated area so wasn’t hot or stuffy once everyone was inside! Such a great day out and some incredible cards and merch available

General Admission Tickets

There could have been more sports cards, felt like a lot of TCG with sports mixed in. Or if you could try to section the varieties of cards like LCS this makes the experience better in my opinion. Felt like I was getting in the way of TVG fans when trying to see what the vender had.

General Admission Tickets

Don't get me wrong it was a Great event but VIP ticket was not worth it and and I never got any vouchers very lack luster and not a football fan. Would come again but definitely not vip

VIP Tickets

It was my and my kids first card con and we absolutely love it!

General Admission Tickets

Great day out. Our first card show and definitely wont be our last. Great set up. Will be hoping to come next year

Child Tickets

The show had a good number of vendors and lots of places performing demos and competitions which was great. The atmosphere was good. My only suggestion is that the free bus service to/from the station was not well signposted either at the station or the venue and this could be made clear in the future

Early Entry Tickets

The event as a whole was pretty good but it was cramped and that's putting it nicely. They could have done with another room to make the walk ways wider. As someone with an autistic partner she was very overwhelmed by all the pushing and shoving just to see a table. It should never be that way, I did get to meet a few streamer and YouTubers I follow and pick up some cool cards but yeah needs to be more space!

General Admission Tickets

Loved it, first one i have been too and bigger and better than i imagined.

General Admission Tickets

Fantastic that children go free! Perfect way of getting the next generation involved in collecting

Child Tickets

Well organised! Great spacious layout with various stalls offering different products

General Admission Tickets

I have not been to an event before but felt it was poorly run. We were not let onto the ship floor at 0900 firstly. We were given the wrong wrist bags when our tickets were checked causing confusion when getting the free items which came in drips and drabs. Communication prior to the event was very late coming through via email. I think I received it at 11pm the night before. That's to late to read and know for the event especially when you are up early the next day. When queuing to get in the staff were only asking for VIP ticket holders, this is where we showed our tickets and was given an all weekend wrist band not VIP. No other tickets were checked around us or anywhere in the queue. The doors opened past 0908 with a free for all of everyone coming in. Anyone could have been in that queue that hadn't paid for early bird or VIP. What a waste of money!

VIP Tickets

Just queue time It didn’t feel like we had an hour before main entry. Opened late, vendors not ready - so eats into the time. This should be 90mins early entry to be honest as your show is so big. Plus more sports are needed - too much of the same Pokemon etc But overall a great show, I loved it bar a couple of niggles

VIP Tickets

Easy access and navigating on the site

Early Entry Tickets
