1. The Basics – Of Surviving and Getting to the right place
- IT Show Details:

- • When – 11th to 14th March 2010 / 12noon – 9PM

It will be crowded, very crowded, try (and I know its difficult) to come either during Lunch time on a weekday, in the very opening or just before doors will close. There will be thousands of people and the more people, the more difficult it will be for you to get your product.

They usually cut down prices on the last day… although down side is, there will be items out of stock by then. If what you’re looking for isn’t one of those limited-stocks-only-items, might want to go check offers on the show’s last day :)

Did anyone come across any great deals worth checking out? I’ve been wanting to go down but the thought of jostling with the massive crowd stopped me.
