MANCHESTER VIEWING PARK ENTRANCE FEES

[imropes]

Best to buy a £25 card (25 visits for car and driver) or its £3 for 1 hour,£6 for 2 hours,
£9 for 3 hours, £12 over 3 hours. New prices started today. What do you think about this move? Why has it been done?

Ouch!!

So do you pay on exit now, or are there wardens wandering round?

I can't remember what I paid last time, but as far as I remember it was a fixed price no matter how long you stopped?

These prices are just outrageous, particularly when you only have to pay £12 for a coach with no time limit.  I won't be going on my "motorbile" either - lol

How the heck are you supposed to get there by foot - it's in the middle of nowhere!

Amazing value ********!

All,

Havent been to AVP yet but as far as I am aware, it is pay on exit, new barriers have been installed etc.

It is an outrageous price rise but for the enthusiast who attends often, there is the multi entry ticket as stated by 'imropes'.

You can also buy £50 and £100 ones also.  I have a feeling these tickets may not be on sale at current price for much longer.

There has been a lot of work and expense carried out at the AVP in past 18 months, Concorde hanger ,restaurant, new TAS shop, obviously someone has to pay for all this ,  YOU and ME !

Rumour has it, a Nimrod will be the next static aircraft to arrive (20 April?) and towed in AVP sometime in May. If you know the AVP , it will be parked next to the Trident.


Regards

Phil

Its slowly turning from a humble vp into a commercial venue. You can hire the eating

area in the concorde hanger. A large childrens party was in progress a few Sundays ago.
