Dave the Mic Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 Not sure if I am a bit slow off the mark, but I have seen on the GP website that the date for next year's British GP has been announced as the 11th June. Tickets on sale now!!! Sorry if everyone has already seen this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave the Mic Posted August 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2004 Been giving the '05 GP some thought after looking into next year's event. Ticket prices are higher than this year I see. I believe that the number of riders in each event is being reduced to 16 - I assume this is likely to see a reduction in the number of races for each round. So, we get charged more money, to see less racing. That doesn't seem very fair does it? Does sound familiar though. More money for BSI, less action for the paying customer, or have I missed something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted August 14, 2004 Report Share Posted August 14, 2004 The format tonight for the GP playoff final is likely to be the one used next year in the GPs themselves, so a couple of races less for yoour money. I heard that the program is included in the price of the ticket, though this as yet is to be confirmed. Either way i got my tickets for next years GP. Hopefully the crowd will continue to grow and we will have as good a GP as this years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave the Mic Posted August 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2004 You could be right about the format Steve, but I can't help thinking that it's a retrograde step. What is wrong with the current format - it seems to work pretty well for the most part, doesn't it. I guess from a BSI viewpoint it's better to have less riders to pay prize money to?

NeilWatson Posted August 15, 2004 Report Share Posted August 15, 2004 I heard that the program is included in the price of the ticket, though this as yet is to be confirmed. That is definitely the case Steve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21st century heathen Posted August 19, 2004 Report Share Posted August 19, 2004 Surely that should be "That is definitely the case, at the moment Steve." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornishman Posted August 19, 2004 Report Share Posted August 19, 2004 More money, less races, WHO CARES!!! Its worth going just for the atmosphere, not just in the stadium but also in cardiff all day long. Got my tickets already, middle tier, turn 3, same every year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hazzman Posted August 19, 2004 Report Share Posted August 19, 2004 I will think I will get my tickets on the day. I prefer it in the nose bleed section. So, you can see all the track. Regardless, we have a friend who doesnt like heights. So he pays £25 for his ticket and then ends up in the £50 with the stadium being open fully round. Less Races, Less Riders = I think more rounds, possibly Australia this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted August 27, 2004 Report Share Posted August 27, 2004 Does anyone know of some reasonably priced hotels or bed and breakfasts to stay in near the millenium stadium? Already tried quite a few and they are already sold out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think you are confusing atmostphere with noise. You haven't experienced an atmostphere until you have been to Bydgoszcz. Sorry, but it's the truth.

Queen Bee Posted August 27, 2004 Report Share Posted August 27, 2004 I tried to book a hotel about 4 weeks ago and everyone I tried was either full, wanted £150 pppn or wouldn't let me book till 6 months before the event..... I think the best bet maybe to try somewhere just outside of Cardiff, or see if you can kip on someones floor!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjw ministerofport Posted August 29, 2004 Report Share Posted August 29, 2004 We have tickets in block M28 level 4 row 1 and have managed to book the same hotel as last year. We are paying fifty percent more for the hotel room and five pounds more for each ticket, to be honest the price does not matter its so good to be there. But i'm thinking that maybe greed could be the killer to such a wonderful occasion in the future.I have enjoyed every year so far but last year was the best for me.
