Re: Hometech Tickets, has anyone received them?

["steve" <steve@xxxxxxx>]

My brother and i went to a trade-only show recently. We pre-booked so we didnt chance getting the tickets at the door & wasting a journey. We made up a fake company, chose our positions and just used my home address. On entry the barcode on our cards where scanned & in we went.

 

The staff of the show hosting company really wont care...........

This something I have found to be true as well - a friend of my wife's
regularly blags her way into several food/drink & catering trade shows,
getting completely sh*t-faced on the free wine samples! - All she had to do
was knock up some hookie business cards on one of those photo-me booths you
find in train stations, and send one of those in with the application.
No-one's ever checked it's authenticity! and she keeps going back year after
year pretending to be a wholesale wine merchant!!
(when she's really a civil servant) - shhhhhhhh........
