Title: Festival Of Quilts 2019 - 1st - 4th August - TICKETS OFFER
Post by: Iminei on April 02, 2019, 04:54:53 AM
Ladies, yesterday an envelope popped through my door from Twisted Threads
offering us group tickets to this years

Festival Of Quilts (https://www.thefestivalofquilts.co.uk/tickets/) ...

Being held at the NEC in Birmingham,
slap bang next to the train station and held on the
1st - 4th of August this year.
 
So once again The Sewing Place is pleased to be able to offer you tickets
to the biggest Quilt Show in Europe
at the best possible price by purchasing through the Group Ticket option.

This is the most economical way to buy;
These prices are even better than the discount offered to competitors at the festival!!!!

You can go on whichever days you please and,
as long as we can sell 10 tickets,
tickets will cost .....

£13 per Adult ticket
£11.50 per Quilters Guild  Member
and £7 per Child (5 -18)


Please add on £1.50 to your order to cover my P&P costs and Twisted Threads admin fee.

Twisted Threads have, along with changing the dates for the show, changed some of the T's & C's ...
I will now need payment for your tickets by July 20th,
tho' I will of course over order for last minute attendees.

This year I am afraid I will only be able to attend the show on the opening day,
Thursday 1st August,
but will greatly enjoy meeting any other TSP peeps
on The Mezzanine between 12 and 1pm,
after which I hope we can present the Beautiful  Project Linus Quilts
you have made this year to them at their stand.

If you are interested in taking up this great offer, please pm Iminei ....
marking your pm, FOQ 2019 please.

Ladies we have made the TEN !

TSP's Discount tickets are GO!

I have had definite orders from @Deafoldbat, @StitchinTime, and @maliw

and there my memory fails me, I think its @Pearl  and @Sandra  I've forgotten.
Girls, can you please pm me with your orders marking it FOQ 2019 so I can keep track?

If you are a Quilters Guild member please include your membership number with your order and I'll see if they will accept the discount on first payment rather than issuing a refund.

Im really going to try and make FOQ but at the moment, with finances as they are its 50/50.

So have we anymore takers for TSP's discounted tickets, the MOST economical way to see the show,

Please get in touch......

I need to ask her properly to confirm, but I'm probably in need of two tickets please, for myself and my daughter again.
 
I'm surprised to see she's still classed as a 'child', as far as FoQ tickets go. It seems unusual to allow up to 18 years old. Most child prices end as soon as you turn 16.

I'll make sure I remember to ask her.  :)

We are GO for discounted tickets for this years FOQ Ladies!! Woo Hoo!

I will be asking about getting the QG extra discount later today, in case we can get it applied to the sale of the tickets rather than as a refund after the show and will be asking for payment from those of you that have ordered tickets at the end of this month ...

This doesnt mean you will not be able to buy tickets from me later than that, as obviously I will be over ordering as we now have the group discount.

The last available time to get a ticket from me in person will be at the show on Thursday the 1st August
and by post Sunday 28th July, so your tickets will arrive to you in time for the show!

Last call for tickets and QG numbers ...

Dont worry if you're not decided yet as I will be over ordering, so lastish minute tickets will be available.

Okay I have been in email correspondence with the new group ticket suppliers all day to ascertain the ins and outs of the new regulations around group discounted tickets.

Unlike last year, numbers must be confirmed and paid for two weeks before the show,
so if you're a last minute kinda person, you are not going to be able to benefit from the group discount!   :(    Sorry!

However as a quilters guild member, your £1.50 extra discount will be applied at point of sale!      :D    Woo Hoo!!

So let me have your QG membership numbers (please mark all pms QG number) and how many days you will be attending.

I will be asking you for payment of your tickets by the last week of JUNE so I can then pay for the tickets in the first week of July and send them out to you in the second.

Sorry for all this new palaver ... but we have 23 definite sales now, so group discounts are assured.

And if you are considering visiting FOQ this year ... make sure your on my list by the last week of JUNE!

Thanks to everyone for their payments ...
and the Tickets are now ordered and will be on their way to me and thence to thee shortly!

I have cleared up a query regarding the new system and I am able to order extra tickets at the discounted price up until one week before the show ... so any latecomers can still benefit

Just PM me, marking the message FOQ tickets and I will sort you out.

I'm going on the Thursday ladies and hope to see as many of you as possible on the Mezzanine level from 12pm onwards... and we will handover The Project Linus quilts after 1pm ish at their stand in the show.

Just a few weeks to go now ladies ... Excited?!
