to have expected 'shows' (i.e. baby/wedding/ideal home etc.) to be free?

I've just had the shock of my life to find out that people pay for these.

I mean, you go to them to subject yourself to marketing and sales piches right? SO they should PAY you right? SO they DO, in cheaper products and deals etc.

This I knew.

But I'm literally that you also pay for them to do this to you.

Who in their right mind goes to these things?

There's usually a fair few freebies to be had as well, we got free tickets to the baby show in birmingham.

Oh are there? Didn't know that. How do you come about them then?

I mean, how would I come about them. I;ve never seen them, and I would never pay for such a thing, so how does me and free tickets meet?
