All have been adapted from classic old picture postcards, and are being used as entrance tickets on the three days of the Show, with a different card for each day. A fourth acts as a season ticket, while the others are being used for complimentary admissions and invitations to the media.

A total of 333 sets are, however, being reserved for collectors to purchase at £3 (plus postage if applicable, 50p UK, £1.25 overseas) and these will be available from Saturday 30th August at the Show itself, or posted to collectors after that date.
