Family of 4 ticket £117, 2 nights in the premier inn in Barry £120, spent close to £300 on food and drink and stuff and I'll do it all again next year.
Yes the track was poor, very slick, but do you honestly turn up to a one off track expecting world class racing? If you do you are deluded, it just doesn't happen. I've been 9 times now and, Bomber winning apart, I've always left pretty underwhelmed racing wise. The track has always cut up by the end of the meeting (Remember the Bomber final but no one complained as they had a British winner), the track has always been slick. Yes this year was bad but nothing I didn't expect.
It's the whole package that we go for, the Saturday is brilliant, meeting the riders, live music and loads of other stuff. I don't think £30 per ticket for great seats is a lot in the whole scheme of things.
