I am now beginning to panic about my Crufts trip. The thing is I have never even been to watch before and am going to see one of my frenchie pups who qualified.
He is in yearling and think he'll probably be judged about 9am , however I'm panicking that I won't get my tickets bought and find Hall 4 before he is due to be shown!
Do any of you think I'll make it in time if I'm in the queue early?
I'm travelling by car from Northumberland and think if I leave about 4am then I should get there about 8am ( with a stop halfway) .

Walking from the car park will probably take longer than getting in and finding the hall.
Try to look at a map of the nec and work out where is best for you to park, bearing in mind exhibitors will have taken up closest spaces.
Have alovely day and hope your pup does well

Buying your ticket online might save you some time: http://www.crufts.org.uk/ticket-office.

If you buy the ticket on line and download it, you've only got to show the ticket to get in and probably won't be waiting long.  It's getting through so many people when you get inside and getting your bearings that will hold you back.

Good luck, hope he does well

we booked our tickets on-line last year but still got held up by some overseas visitors who had problems wih their tickets, you just never know.
There are lots of official people hanging round so just ask for help with directions as it is easy to get lost
good luck to your pup.
