[Closed] Booking a day pass for BPW?

We are planning on going to BPW on Saturday and was hoping to pre-book the day pass. It says on the website that they are unavailable (not fully booked or anything else) for that day. Anyone know if we can just turn up and pay or is there another reason why?
Cheers

There is no limit to the number of day passes (without uplift) so you just turn up and pay on the day.

I'm going up to watch the bds, I'm in 2 minds about taking my bike though. Probably wont and just have some beers. There is no on site parking either so you need to take that into consideration.

Only sixtapod to willywaver and wibbly wobbly to rim dinger are open everything else is closed. So I probably wouldn't want to pay for a pass and only be able to ride those trails, up to you though!

BPW is always fully booked

However, if you do go, there always seems to be 3 buses sat in the carpark with no driver

They seem to have a set number of spots for a day and refuse to go higher - even if their leased van is sat there doing nothing

Surely, it'd be a lot more beneficial from a business sense to have a 'waiting list' booking section on the web page

When they get to the 16 pre-booked slots, they get the extra bus into action

Maybe have a 2 week cut off - if they haven't filled it within 2 weeks, then its cancelled and you go on to another waiting list

Great place but i've been so disappointed with the running of the place so i don't even bother trying to book now unless i'm planning 6 months in the future

A victim of its own success just waiting to happen
