cailesy Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 I went to lfcc this year,the only downside to the show was the shocking prices of the food and drink,they wanted £4 for a sausage roll,£5 for a sandwich and £2.50 for tea and coffee how can they charge this much when across the road in tesco it is a lot cheaper,something has got to be done to lower priced,I would rather starve tan pay these prices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wjbleming Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Think the prices are the venue's prices and are out of Showmaster's control, cailesy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen_Sindel Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 SM has absolutely no influence on those Prices. The venue either hires out the space or handles the catering themselves even. You can only vote with your wallet and not eat there. If enough People do that maybe that helps. They can charge that much because not enough attendees can be bothered to go over the road to Tesco. Same in theme parks. We always make sure to eat something we brought in the Hotel, unless the Hotel has breakfast. 2/3 of the People going in seem to be running for Starbucks or whatever coffee place is open to get breakfast first.

Raylenth Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Food prices in any venue, irrespective of what is outside is always high unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators DavidB Posted September 30, 2016 Moderators Share Posted September 30, 2016 Yep it's definitely a venue thing. Absolutely nothing Showmasters or any other company can do about it. This is why you're allowed to leave and get whatever you want elsewhere :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen_Sindel Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Thank god you are. There are other Events in Germany - not the LFACC type though - that do not allow you re-entry. Fun in summer at 35 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Namine Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Yea, I know this year, a hot dog on its own was around £5 from the hot dog stand by the guests and restaurant; but it's not down to showmasters, it's down to the people who own Olympia. I personally didn't mind paying £2 for a cappuccino at this years LFCC, heck, even my mom who used to be a barmaid said that £5 for draft lager out of the keg was good price (and she knows a lot since she did work down in Eastbourne for near 10 years when we lived down there!)

natedammit Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Thank god you are. There are other Events in Germany - not the LFACC type though - that do not allow you re-entry. Fun in summer at 35 degrees. I once went to a convention all about the space race - re-entry was incredibly dangerous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raylenth Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Did you have to make sure the angle was perfect and come back in the window? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
