Beanology tickets are they pickup at the door or are they getting posted out? 

I am quite happy to come down to Geelong if I need to pick them up at all.

At the moment we expect tickets will be picked-up on the day but if logistics make more sense to freight them then we will do that at least a week before the event.

For those that purchased more than one ticket we will also email you soon to find out the name required on the second ticket.

Parking the car at Afe Biz 2011.

The Cafe Biz site information for the event at the Melbourne Showground in May for parking states:
" limited parking $5 per car via gate 7 Leonard Crescent".
We have a 4 and half hour trip to the event and would like to know about street parking as we know we will miss out on this parking. Street parking Saturday and Sunday ? Where? Hourly limits? etc.
Not really wanting to boost Victoria coffers.
Thanks .

I believe there is parking inside of the gate. This is from Andy:

The venue is the RASV building at the Royal Melbourne Show Grounds.  I expect that we will be using gate 5 (off Langs road) to enter the on-site car parking but I’ll confirm specific details in another email closer to the event.

Re: The Australian Coffee Festival & Cafe Biz 2011 - Melbourne

I could have it wrong too.

Its the gotcha with a first time event at a new venue, all the little things are tricky to get answers for.

For those Beanology attendees Ill shout the carparking if someone tries to charge you (and then Ill try and get it back from the show grounds!).

For those only attending Cafebiz Ill try and findout more info but you might just have to cop the $5 or try and find off street parking.

Re: The Australian Coffee Festival & Cafe Biz 2011 - Melbourne

Andy you have made a kind offer re the parking. We are very happy to pay the money. You do not need the extra task of having to try to get money back.
Minimal cost to parking in the CBD for a day.
