Can't believe that Cardiff is viable with 22000 in attendance. Eventually Money will talk

Wouldn't be surprised if the British GP is switched to Manchester if advance ticket sales are poor for Cardiff. At 22000 this year someone must be losing a lot of money, can't see that being repeated next year.

Be interesting to see if the promoter issues a statement acknowledging there was a problem with the track. If they don't think / acknowledge there was a problem on both days then they are stuffed, as is the future of the event.

I thought Ole Olsen had an exclusive contract with BSI and when their contract expired so did his. I might be wrong but I thought One Sport was responsable for track build now. Would explain why the track was so bad , over the last 5 years the track build under Olsen has been good, nothing like we have seen this weekend.

Just back from Cardiff. I have done every Cardiff GP but this will be my last. Cardiff has become too difficult, too expensive with little given back. Whether its getting there, hotels, buying tickets, downloading tickets ,ticket apps etc, all that hassle to be rewarded with an awful track producing an awful GP. And guess what my ticket app would not load when I got to the gate. Had to pay a visit to the ticket office with a lot of tetchy people with the same problem. Discovery have taken the GP back 20 years, 20 years ago we had a 30 thousand crowd and an unfit track dito 2022. When will they stop making mistakes ,SON in the same country comes to mind, BSI learned that lesson years ago. For me the Cardiff GP has run its course, maybe with a sub 30 thousand crowd it has also run its natural course anyway, how do they expect to sell tickets for next year on the back of what we have seen this year, they won't be getting my money I'd be surprised if they are making any money on this event with the costs involved, can't see discovery sucking this up for ever. Over and out

There wont be anyone there either if the Poles are not racing

Discovery are going to need some deep pockets to cover their errors. BSI found out the hard way that you need a home nation for every round of the SON . Add to this the ticket fiasco over Cardiff and their romantic hopes of an Oceania GP this year , not a great start

To redress the balance I have had numerous problems downloading the tickets to the app. I contacted the customer service and they did it for me , so I now have the tickets in my app. Not ideal but anyone struggling I would suggest contacting customer service. Buying tickets and accessing them should not be so difficult. I Use See tickets a lot and they still post some tickets and have print at home options or send you an eticket as a pdf. This ticket system could seriously have an adverse affect on the attendance at Cardiff

Does anybody else think this ticketing is a farce. It seems Cardiff is not for everyone just for the tech savvy. Do they not know speedway's demmagraphic..Anyway downloaded the app but cannot find the tickets anywhere in my see tickets account even clicking the orders button. Any ideas anyone ? Been to all GP's in Cardiff but this may be my last if the tickets are not easier to access, they even have the nerve to charge a booking fee when its you doing all the work.

Sorry to bang on about tickets, but has anyone physically got their tickets through the Principality app so far , or are they staring at a message which says no tickets yet. I've tracked the order and it says not dispatched yet. Is it just best to sit and wait until nearer the time.

Well they don't make ticket buying easy do they. What ever happened to posting tickets out or at least print at home. Now you have to have a smartphone to download an app, not great for us older people with limited knowledge of mobile phones.Any way I have been through the system , managed eventually to download the app and complete the transaction. Only problem is when I go to the app it comes up "you tickets will appear here, no tickets yet." Is this normal or have others got their tickets straight away. Any help would be appreciated . Thanks in advance. .

Please Please Please Discovery please amend the SGP points system to the one we had previously ie every point counts. The GP has now become flat due to the scoring system, the gp only starts to have some meaning when 20 heats are completed. Every point counts brings intensity from heat one and the gp should evolve as a story, evolving heat by heat. I know the issue of the winner scoring possibly less points than the runner up is an issue, but overall I would live with it to improve the overall product. I won't hold my breath thou . I can't think of many who like the current system.

Many thanks Pirate Ship , tickets located. Really thankful for your help.

Having a tech nightmare. My laptop has bust so using a new laptop which is not as good and wont connect to printer. logged into ticket page on the above post and can't find my tickets. Been searching through ten thousand unread emails trying to find ticket purchase, no success , like searching for a needle in a haystack.Can anyone tell me a keyword that I can search for connected to the original confirmation email ? Other than it looks like no S.O.N for me.

hi, can anyone out there remember when the tickets originally went on sale or which company handled the tickets. I've been wading through my inbox from 2020 and can't find head nor tail in my inbox. Thanks in advance.
