If I was to go I would be there at my own leisure,
Our passes allow us access to build up, break down and whilst the show is open.
I go back to work on monday, I'll then find out if Im working on the build up,
If I am then I will more than likely go when its open,
If Im not I will speak to my boss about getting me a pass if there are any spare
