The Showrider ticket had the price of entry and a train or bus ticket to the show included on the one ticket. A spokeswoman for the Royal Agricultural Society said that due to changes in rail wholesale pricing structures the Showrider ticket did not represent a saving for customers and was not warranted. A spokeswoman from Transperth said the organisation had worked very hard with the RAS to try to get the Showrider tickets for this year. She said: "We really wanted to join the tickets together but the new numbering system made it very difficult." She said she expected some people to assume the Showrider tickets would be available and that some people would be inconvenienced. Although the Showrider had been popular there had not been an overwhelming response to it. "Many people who are used to riding on public transport already own a Mulitrider, and they use that," the spokeswoman said. She said people should buy their tickets early to avoid queues on the way to the show. The best deals were a Familyrider, which allowed two adults and five children to travel for $7.10, or a Dayrider. Neither ticket was valid before 9am or on the first day of the show. Tickets can be bought at Newspower agencies, Transperth information centres or at the central train station. There will be extra trains running regularly throughout show week, September 28 to October 6. -Jen Cunniffe BACK TO TOP < PREVIOUS - HOME - NEXT> Copyright © 1999 - 2006 Post Newspapers Pty Ltd.
