Steve Shovlar Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 Well I warned you to get those tickets and news today is that they are sold out on Thursday for the playoff and Saturday for the final! The grandstand for both events is sold out and there are only a small amount of standing left. There is temporary extra seating (no cover) being installed at £37.50 on the first and second bend to cope with demand. Benfield are putting in an additional 2000 seats. Thanks god I got mine!

Steve Shovlar Posted June 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 Shov, What is the hospitality area like at Poole? Hunsy Benfield are running it in the top of the back straight grandstand. Not sure how to get tickets though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob B Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 First off the WTC at Poole is a sell out. There are some first bend seating left on the temp stands and some standing tickets left on the third and forth bends. How can it be a sell out when there are still tickets left!

Steve Shovlar Posted June 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 When I said sellout I meant the main grandstand. Only tickets now left are on the temp stands and standing on the forth bend. Looks like the place is going to have a fantastic atmosphere, which is exactly what Benfield wanted. Don't know how many of us Brits have purchased tickets but I hope we are not outnumbered by Danes, Swedes and Poles! But I will be there with my English flag cheering the boys on to victory!

crazysue Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 Oh well that takes the decision out of my hands then (the one of whether to pay the rent or buy the tickets, although I was thinking of extending the overdraft to give me more money if I wanted to go), thank god I have saved myself £300, can have a nice 2 week holiday now for that (yes £300, 2 weeks in Great Yarmouth for a family of 5) rather than 1 evening of speedway........couldn't afford to buy them right away anyway, not so soon after Cardiff and just before Denmark.

Silver Bee Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 Is this just the reduced price tickets for the Poole supporters!!! that are sold out or all the tickets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted June 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 From what I can gather the main grandstand is sold out. A friend of mine tried to book some seats today and was told that it was sold out and that the only tickets left were some standing and some on the temp stand on the first bend. I haven't see this weeks speedway star but in there Benfield confirms what I have said. Considering that the main grandstand only holds 1200, officially, Benfoeld state they are adding a further 2000 seats on the bends. So where the standing will be I have no idea. Obviously along the front of the main grandstand, and on the forth bend, but where else? Also told for seats its first come, sit where you like, which means getting there very early to get the best seats. If Poland make the final, their fans tend to arrive hours before tapes up so I hope they don't open the gates too early! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rabbit Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 Also told for seats its first come, sit where you like, which means getting there very early to get the best seats. If Poland make the final, their fans tend to arrive hours before tapes up so I hope they don't open the gates too early! Just hope then that they've got the traffic arrangements sorted this time! With the working population of Poole attempting to get out of the town centre on the Thursday between 5 and 6 and the speedway crowd coming in, it could end up gridlocked like it was for the play-offs last year. That was chaos and I'm already thinking I might might a swift exit out of the office that afternoon so I don't get caught up in it ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gooner_girl4eva Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 I can't believe its nearly sold out What with going to Denmark this weekend and recently Cardiff, I haven't been able to afford to book my WTC Tickets, I have already booked my accommodation. I really hope there will be some tickets left in the next few days as I am unable to book until I get back. Does anyone have a rough idea of how many standing tickets are left, like hundreds?? I am really concerned I won't get tickets now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joanne Posted June 25, 2004 Report Share Posted June 25, 2004 Don't know if anyone has noticed but you can also buy tickets here http://www.wayahead.com/ not that it matters to me as I'll be getting eaten by midgies in Scotland when the WTC Final is on now.
