Default Ottawa Militaria Show

Hi there

I've been to the Ottawa show twice now and it's very much worth the trip.

Lots of interesting stuff and even more interesting people !

Just a question about the admission, though.

Why is the price doubled for early attendees?

A premium to get bet crack at the good stuff?

Steve

Steve,

In theory, yes, the early admission fee is supposed to give attendees "first crack" at the bargains & treasures. However, it's been my experience that between 8:00 - 9:00 AM, most of the dealers are too busy trading amongst themselves to be attentive to the customers. This year I think I'll skip the "advance party", save my 5 bucks and join the rest of the "main body" at 9:00! Cheers,

Walt
