Wallets-full of value in your Rand Show 2015 ticket

Words: SA Shows

A ticket to the Rand Show is your ticket to escaping the ordinary with non-stop entertainment and family fun. For roughly what you'd pay to take the family for a movie and popcorn, you can load up the car and head off to the Rand Show, where an entire day of free top-class entertainment awaits you.
