Anyone going to Basel?

I'll be in Zurich Monday to Thursday. Might have to make a day trip to Basel. Never been to the show. Do you have to be connected to get tickets or can anyone go?

My first Basel, I will be in 24th - 30th. From what I understand it is generally a ticketed entrance event open to public.

Take a train from Zurich to Basel HBH. From there it is a short tram trip to the exhibition centre. When you get there, buy the tickets from the door.

Best, Kari

I'm just great, thanks Hamish.

I'll fly on Friday morning to Switzerland and have a dinner with reps of a watch producer. Then on Saturday together with my wife we have a 1.5 hours private show in one of the boots. You know which one...
I can tell my impressions in the beginning of next week. I hope to see some new results of the Advanced Research program.

Best and let's be in touch.

Kari

There is a ticket counter at the entrance of Hall 1.0
I will be around for next few days and my first stop will of course be the Patek at the Baselworld. Can't wait to see what's new for this year.
