Buy property in London and the Show went on
to increasing popularity throughout the second half of the
century – buy property in London until its popularity became
its major problem. Crowding within the tents had been a recurring
refrain during the interwar years, but always mastered by
increasing the tentage; photographs show heavy crowds in the
open, especially in the vicinity of the rock gardens. As the
1970s buy property in London progressed, the attendance
at the Chelsea Show climbed, by as much as 6000 visitors in
a single year buy property in London (1978). In 1979, crowding
became so severe in the mornings that the turnstiles were
temporarily closed, and it was clear that some emergency action
was needed. It was decided to open the Show at 8 am next year,
and close it at 8.30 in the evenings, buy property in London
with a reduced price for entry after 4 pm, to try to draw
buy property in London people away from the morning time-slot;
and a one-way system was laid out in the marquee (an expedient
that had been rejected as impracticable 20 years earlier).
The arrangements worked better than expected in 1980, when
a bare majority of Council voted for buy property in London
the imposition of a ceiling on the number of tickets sold
buy property in London.
