Go online to Grand Designs Live, enter the code GDLTIX17 and select your tickets. Tickets are for one day only and you have to choose the day you want to go when you book (it's limited to two tickets per household). Your tickets will be emailed to you and you'll need to print them.
The offer ends at 11.59pm on Sun 16 Apr, or when all 15,000 free tickets have gone, whichever's soonest - so go quick if you want them.
Up to two children aged 15 or under can go for free with each adult - either book child tickets online when you book adult tickets (to avoid queues on the day), or collect them on the day at the box office.

How much would they normally cost?
The price of adult tickets are usually £13.70-£16.70 online (including £1.70 booking fee) depending on which day they're for.
The usual £1.70 booking fee has been waived, so you won't have to enter any bank details. If at any point you're asked to add card details, go back and insert the code again - these are completely free tickets.

Have you seen the rip off car park charge at the NEC £12 !! no wonder they give tickets out for free for NEC based events like the recent home renovations show, £12 must be the most expensive for a couple of hours parking, not even hospitals and airports, the kings of rip off Britain charge that ! or do they ?

The holiday inn car park about 10 minutes walk to the closest NEC bus station is free for up to 5 hours. You know NEC has bus operating on the site right? It was close to parking area No. 6 I believe, something like North gate stop.

And it's totally unrelated to the thread. Coz the tickets are for the event in London.
