Rally entrance booking via Knebworth website

[M25VAN]

Just been to the National after missing it for a few years. I'm not able to pre book as I never know if I can attend until near to the entry date. I was a bit miffed that I had to pay the same entrance fee as non members namely £15. It's certainly gone up since my last visit. I was even more miffed when I just checked the Knebworth House website, to see what was going on in the big arena, and found out I could have booked on there for only £7.20. This even included entrance to the park and gardens!

Anyone try this route and why is it so much cheaper?

We were there too (though not until 4.30ish due to work) but we pre-booked. However I see what you mean, have just looked at the Knebworth House website and indeed tickets for the Morris Minor Rally are only £7.20 and you can print them off instantly. Does seem like someone is making some pennies! Hope you enjoyed it - we are hoping to go back tomorrow as it is local to us.

To clarify, the £7.20 fee advertised on the Knebworth House website will give entry for one person only. The MMOC has no control over the fees charged by Knebworth House and these fees will go directly to Knebworth House, not the Club.

Yes I did enjoy it, I like to see the other cars and gleen ideas etc. Also nice to see some of the products of the traders. You were lucky not having to travel far.

And further clarification that it would be 7.20 per person per day. So for a couple going on both days it would work out dearer. For myself who just likes to attend the Saturday and browse the trade stands then look at the massed ranks of minors it would work out cheaper. Either that or hitch a ride in another Minor at the entrance gates.

Mental note for the next Knebworth rally, one driver in a van/pickup, lots of people hiding in the back under a picnic blanket whistling the great escape tune :)

Oh, actually now I know why the WWII German groundcrew re-enactment people were there, the pitchfork test.
