For the last 9 years we have been wanting a GP at this wonderful racetrack, for this year our wishes were finally fulfilled.
I was concerned when it was then announced there would be 2 nights, why do we need 2 nights, no other GP has had 2 nights not only will it make it more expensive for everyone (nearly double price) but anyone not local would need a (expensive hotel).
The ticket prices have now been announced and I’m dismayed.
Last year’s ticket prices for SoN were bad enough and showed by the empty extra grandstand, thought they would have learnt from that but no they made it even more expensive!
One night price is expensive enough but for 2 nights there is little discount. It’s depressing.
Will I be there, yes I will reluctantly pay it but I only live 5 minutes away. Thousands won’t be paying it now though.
To make matters worst for Belle Vue this will affect crowds levels for the next few months as those local who do choose to pay it will pick and choose the league meetings they go to as can’t afford both.
