Hi Mick and Ram
I am 99% sure the only option is to book a weekend pass Friday to Sunday
the explanation was given 11 threads down "HUBBUK - Saturday Day Visit?" back in 2016.
Hope this helps and fingers crossed you can make it to the HUBB this year.

Ask Grant or Susan.
Hi Ram, I paid for one person for the whole weekend and shall not now be attending. The policy has been well thought through and decision made against one day visitors. A very special, almost dream-like peace develops at this meeting over a weekend of like minded people mingling and to no small extent due to the gentle natures of Grant and Susan. So. You have my permission to ask if you two could attend for one day in place of my longer payment. Grant seems to be doing massively long hours planning etc etc so perhaps ask Susan who, JUST might be less busy. Maybe. Good luck, Lindsay.

Day tickets
Bit of a late call but this facebook post suggests that day tickets are now available

https://m.facebook.com/events/118706...12996232635821


I think this could have been announced earlier,

Neil

I'm single, attractive and very shy...
I was wondering if this event could be where I could find a new wife? The other one left me to join a circus (seriously) - so I'm slightly damaged in that way.

However, I am keen and enthusiastic, and with the help of medication, I could actually be someones great friend and partner to while away those years ahead.

What do you think? Any chance of kopping off at the UK meet? (For any one outside of the UK, 'Kopping off' sounds worst than it is - it just means meeting someone and falling in love - for a set period of time - which could be hours or even weeks. Just thought I better clarify in case you thought I was weird.)

Let me know your thoughts...

Billy x

Sorry Neil, hope you made it there! Day tickets have always been available at the venue on the day, not in advance. Sorry we didn't make that clear earlier, it's one of those things that "everybody knew" and got missed repeating for those who didn't know!

Also of course as noted above, we really don't recommend day passes, and in fact discourage them, as you REALLY need to spend more than a day there to "get" what it's all about. It's not the kind of event that a day pass works for.

Hope that makes sense!


And if it doesn't, it does AFTER you've been there for the whole event!

Grant and Susan

This is a great shame that day tickets have been such a secret.

Earlier in this thread people were asking about them but there was no response from yourselves or any of the organisers.

I myself have enquired at the last 3 events , on behalf of our club members , and have been told at the entry gate that they do not exist and that day visitors would have to pay the full entry..( 2 day )

In fact one of our members was charged for 2 days as a day visitor on the Saturday last year

There is no mention of it on the web site.. A week before the event it was announced on the FB group that day tickets are NOW available

I organise the events for a club who have large overland trucks . We have attended in large numbers for the last three events, but this year decided not to attend for a varety reasons . Mainly the price and the lack of day tickets.

I am afraid that your suggestion of actively discouraging day entry doesn't make sense to me.. The day visitors of today are the campers of the future

Neil

As an impartial 3rd party I would agree with the above, BUT 100% agree with Grant. 1 day really isn't enough to get the full effect.

I couldn't agree more.

Doing the full weekend is by far the best experience.

However, some folks can't do the weekend and would love to maybe get there for the Saturday.

I just feel that discouraging people isn't the right way

I wonder if the folks who were asking about day tickets earlier in this thread actually attended or where they actively discouraged, which would be a shame.

That's why when the announcement that day tickets were NOW available was made very late on on the FB group I quickly put it on here to help them and anyone else out.

I hope they got the message and attended and had a great day.

In previous years day tickets have never been available even on the day. I have tried to get them at the gate and been told that they don't exist and the smallest entry was for 2 days.

I think what Grant suggests isnt the reality

. Members of our club who couldn't do the whole weekend have missed out in the past

I have attended several and they are great events

Neil

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
