We track 183 organised displays near 10 UK cities. For each we read the organiser’s own page and record the cheapest advance adult and child ticket, any family ticket, and whether it has sold out. Gate prices are usually higher. Where a display hasn’t published a price we leave it out of the averages rather than guess.
