Hi, you will not get free baby show tickets. Baby Show audiences are always new, because people are always getting pregnant.

Therefore Baby Show doesn't need to give away free tickets as they are always attracting people.

Often though you can get early bird tickets with 25% off or sometimes 4 for price of 3.

The only way you will get free tickets is if you are friends/family with someone who is a staff member of the show or works at Excel

I say this as an exhibition organiser. National Wedding Show is exactly the same!

It's not really worth it, IMO. We went, paid for our tickets (despite looking around - the only free tickets were competition prizes, and not many discounts either) and there was nothing there much cheaper than online. We did find one item of furniture quite a bit cheaper, but the delivery turned out to be so problematic that we regretted hugely not just paying an extra 50 and buying it from John Lewis. And there are all sorts of pointless gadgets and kits that frankly you're better off not being tempted by as you'll probably barely use them!

Baby show in Birmingham and Manchester often put the tickets on Groupon for £5ish for 2 tickets (no idea where the venue is you're looking at) and have once or twice offered them free of charge when there's been tickets left close to the event date.

Agree though, the savings there aren't fantastic IMO and you'll want all the gadgets so end up spending far more!

I found it good to see everything in one place like buggies etc. so it was easy to compare. However, there were much better prices elsewhere.

I think we got 2 for 1 tickets which helped.
