Hi Steve - welcome to the forum!

 

you can buy tickets for the other gps through www.speedwaygp.com

 

I went to Ullevi in August... but am sure you will find plenty of other forumers who go to the majority of the Gp's and should be able to offer helpful assistance regarding travel/tickets etc.

 

Good luck, and hope you enjoy them all!

Tickets for Gp of Slovenia can normally be booked a couple of months before the meeting. I'll post full details when the tickets will go on sale.

Hello Steve

 

My wife and I did all of this year's GP's. I bought a Japanise People carrier and lived in that for two 2 month stretches, and just drove out for the weekend of the Copenhagen GP. This is perhaps a bonkers way of doing it but I hate flying and it gave us a chance to see loads of other meetings. As far as tickets are concerned it depends on what type of seats you want. If you want a grandstand seat in Poland it can cost £50 to £80, but if you sit with the locals I think it was about £8 this year for Bydgoscz. Grandstand tickets in Poland & Slovenia sell out quite quickly or are reserved for VIP's. The Swedish GP's are an unknown quantity for next season because they are supposed to be mooving back to proper tracks, with much less capacity, we were talking to VMS Elit fans at the play off final and they were hopefull of a GP there in Vetlanda which would not hold more than 10000.

Hi Steve

 

I did all the GP's last year, booking my flights and hotels independently, the only one that is a real "problem" is Slovenia. While the public transport from Lublijana to Brezice is OK, there is a severe lack of available transport from thereon in.

Krsko is a good half hour by road from Brezice. I would recommend car hire for Slovenia. Hotels can be a problem, the nearest hotel to the track is the Schremic which is actually a good walk from the track, but its located in a town with a nuclear power station in it. The best hotel is the Termez complex at Termez Catez but this as I said is half hour away from the track. Taxis are in VERY short supply, when I was out there I was told by the taxi driver that they have two taxis in the town!!! Other than that the scenery is magnificent and is well worth a visit

Hi Steve, welcome to the forum. I went to three foreign GPs last year plus Cardiff. Best idea is to watch for the cheap flights around Xmas time after the BSPA meeting. Then book your hotel. They are all pretty easy to get to except Slovenia which I haven't been to yet. If you want cheap, then stay away from Scandinavia. If you want any info, just give us a shout and then I'll ask Rico :rolleyes:
