You can turn up on the day and pay at the gate afaik, but they were also booked out so unsure exactly how that will work.

Everything I’ve read so far says please don’t just show up it’s fully booked and you won’t be admitted

Right my confusion as there is an open pay and play in july is turn up at the gate.
Yep sept sold out really fast, you would have to message one of the Neils that admin for a answer.

Ticket sales are back open for a limited number of extra attendees.

 

After the planning day (p&p day to you guys!) The team decided to reopen the tickets so an extra 150 can attend!

 

Get them fast they won't last long...the extra tickets go on sale on August the 1st

Ah, drat! I was hoping to go both days!

 

Thanks for the response, we've booked for Sunday. 

Jump back on the website now - Saturday tickets are available as they’ve reopened booking. 

 

I’m going both days 😁

I have (fortunately and unfortunately) signed the contract for a decently paid offshore project, starting September. So, it was looking like I'd have to miss SST.

 

However, the project start date has slipped to the 12... I just need it to slip one more time!!

Better buy the Saturday ticket just in case….  😁

They won't last long...

@Fly In My Soup  I've just had it confirmed that my next offshore trip is happening next week and that I have a PCR test and meeting on Monday, so I won't be able to attend SST.

 

My brother-in-law and I both have a Sunday ticket each, bought and paid for. Can you please offer up these two tickets to those MSUK members who missed out? Be a shame to see two slots going unused when there are members who'd like to go.

 

Please PM me, if you need any details off me.

 Thanks.

The tickets are non-transferable.

This is a copy of a reply to the same question that's been asked a few times about ticket transferring...(this also references a few others points that my be irrelevant to you)

 

...

 

Guys you have to understand that implementing on gate disclaimer signing is not the proper way to do it...and it wouldn't be worth the paper it's written on as the law says you need time to read it properly so you can understand what your signing.....

 

And without valid disclaimers the event simply cannot proceed due to insurance purposes...

 

As much as we would love to facilitate the transference of tickets it's just simply not feasible ....its a caveat of uk law we are bound by as organisers...

 

As Neil also mentioned...the digital copies will also help us adhere to government guidelines regarding the close contact of others at the moment (paper copies are a no no)...the last thing we want is a mass covid outbreak of attendees after the event ...and it subsequently gets splashed all over local tabloids...

 

We feel the frustration ...and as always...going forward...we will continue to try and improve in all areas...including looking into the possibility of ticket transference for next year and / or a workaround....or if indeed it is at all possible within the limitations we need to adhere to...

 

Thanks for understanding

 

You and about 4 others can't attend ...and unfortunately there's nothing I can do to help you ...especially this close

No worries. Thanks for explaining.

Krystal had a blast…

Looks like she did really good mate 

What a great site! Really well layed out gates.

Gangs ready to take it on.
Came across gentleman driving a crack van, what a machine and beard!

 

Lads basically speed running the course with the trx4, unstoppable.

 

Current victims 1 outlaw diff, one highrock servo.
Day 2
King of the mallet and the rest of the gates, really do need 2 days to do the course.

Day 2 was amazing, didnt manage king of the mallet as lots of entries and simply would have taken up to much of the morning, also didnt want to ruin the trucks before completing the trails ahead.

Trx4 came away with no breakages, still running stock servo. 😵

 

A great event for young and old, steady footing and study shoes critical as wild dinosaurs are on the loose around the track! Really worth the trip!


Gate 13 "not acutally gate 13" was a real challenge, didnt make it but enjoyed watching others attempt it more than holding up the queue and doing it myself.
The highrock did well the whole weekend but didnt do all the gates the trx4 did, was fun either way till it killed another servo.

The forest trails 200 gates of hidden gold!
 

Day 2 victims, 1 servo
Total damage tally -  highrock 2 etronix 28kg servos, 1 outlaw diff

Well done to the SST team for such a cracking event, cant wait to see what next year brings!

That looks like you all had a great time. I would have loved to been able to go. Hopefully next year!

 

Myself, my brother-in-law and a friend spent time on the North Queensferry beach rocks, instead. Was still a good laugh!

Just over the water from me 

I saw Krystal buzzing about, she looked awesome. 

Thanks for all who attended.. 

 

We made some milestones this event...

 

Largest rc event in the uk....and raised £4500 for charity in a weekend ....

 

Not bad for 8 or so mushes organising it...and the 600 fine folk attending it.

 

Until next year!

 

P.s. join the fb group.....there's masses of photos,  videos, it's buzzing at the moment...

 

We now also have our own youtube channel too
