Guest comet Posted June 22, 2004 Report Share Posted June 22, 2004 Have had my family hols booked travelling the lenght of the country for the WC but now we cannot afford to go 2 adults 4 kids. Total £300 to stand SS its ok for single fellas but if speedway had to rely on such a minority group it wouldnt last long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shazzybird Posted June 22, 2004 Report Share Posted June 22, 2004 SS is a family man but I suspect at those prices he will be there alone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nevs Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 Fair play to Benfield-emailed them last night and just got this reply. Still cant afford it though!!! Dear Mr , Thank you for your email and your continued support of the Speedway Grand Prix Series. I have read you comments and we did take into account our young audience when pricing the tickets. We are restricted on capacity at both Eastbourne and Poole, but we still felt it important to offer concessions to children. With this in mind we priced the children's standing tickets from £9 as opposed to adult tickets which start at £15. There are concessions at all four events for children. I do believe our tickets offer very good value when you consider this is a World Cup. I hope you will be able to join us at the Speedway World Cup. Yours sincerely Paul Bellamy SGP Managing Director m: 0771 2004900 tel: 020 7578 7021 paulb@benfieldsports.com http://www.speedwayworld.tv -----Original Message----- From: John Postlethwaite Sent: Wednesday 23 June 2004 7:31 AM To: Paul Bellamy Subject: Fw: SWC-August -----Original Message----- From: To: *Benfieldsports Mail (External) <mail@benfieldsports.com> Sent: Wed Jun 23 00:03:31 2004 Subject: SWC-August Hi, I am writing to beg you to reconsider the pricing policy for tickets for the speedway world cup for families. We have followed all the grand prixs that you have organised so far and up to now has seemed a fair price. The "season ticket" price seems fair but for those of uswho are not making a week of it is totally unreasonable. Familys just cannot afford it--please dont price us out of the market. The kids are the future -its supposed to be a carnival of speedway but Im sure you will fill the venues to the rafters but there are going to be so many families that would love to be there but just cant afford it--please please please reconsider.
