Have just been on to the RHS site and have found that non members tickets cost £43. Is it just me be tight or that £43 + train fare + refreshments (and then multiply that by two for me and my wife) for the day add up to an awfully lot of money in these troubled times?
Why not try a non-RHS Show ?
Southport Flower Show, for example, much cheaper and you can buy plants !

You are not the only one, Houdy222... dear husband & I will not be seeking to buy tickets. It's a ridiculous price.
Sandringham Flower Show - fabulous! small is beautiful and we get Chris Beardshaw too!

Sandringham.. Just up the road from me. It may be worth a visit.
top tip for Sandringham - you get the place more or less to yourself if you do the tour of the little show gardens while everyone else is crowding round to see their Royal Personages... that is, of course, unless you prefer to join the throng
fab day out - 29th July this year...
Chelsea prices are in line with Premier League football matches,Test cricket matches and Wimbledon if you go for the best seats - and it is only once a year
That maybe ok to some, but there are many people to which the odd treat of say a bottle of wine is the height of luxury, never mind blowing £130 on a day out.
I suppose it's just a case of the haves and have nots!!!
Why pay all that money to shuffle round in a crowd which obscures what you want to see. Hampton Court is just the same - nightmare!
Better to go to a regional show like Malvern - acres of space and a fab show.
There is something special about Chelsea though - well worth the money I think
