Hazzman Posted January 3, 2005 Report Share Posted January 3, 2005 Can you buy standing tickets on the day and would it be easy to get them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico Posted January 3, 2005 Report Share Posted January 3, 2005 I'd imagine that you would be able to get tickets on the day (although obviously I can't guarantee it). First GP of the season will bring fresh hope and hopefully a bumper crowd but I'm sure the capacity of Wroclaw is close to 40,000. The stadium is technically all seated with benches forming most of the capacity but some proper seats in the main stand. Whether you use the bench / seat depends on how excitable the fans around you are. Last year we booked tickets in advance and picked them up at practice. It's probably easier doing it that way and you don't have to worry about the tickets. From memory it was a pretty easy process that the organisers set up (they took credit card payment unlike the organisers at Bydgoszcz).

sjw ministerofport Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 Hi Rico could you tell me which is the best area to get crowd involvement and good viewing please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 (edited) Hi Rico could you tell me which is the best area to get crowd involvement and good viewing please. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hey sjw, Crowd involvement - I've seen one or two I wouldn't mind getting involved with, that's for sure Lovely Polish ladies Last year we sat in the main stand and the view was great - I also went to a meeting at the end of last season and sat on the exit to the fourth bend where the view was perfectly acceptable. Given the openness of the stadium I don't think there is likely to be a bad view anywhere although I read somewhere that sitting far back in the main stand is not a great view. Assuming you mean atmosphere and just general craziness for the term 'crowd involvement' my suggestion would be on the back straight, toward the third bend. That looked pretty rocking and it's where I'm intending to head to in April. Rico Edited January 6, 2005 by Rico Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Bee Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 Rico.... If I buy 'a' ticket.. will that technically allow me to stand/sit anywhere on the benches in the stadium, or do you think there will be allocated seats?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember if it was a total free-for-all for the rest of the stadium or if you were given an entrance to go in and then sit within that area. For the open meeting I went to you could buy tickets for different entrances to the stadium (and they were priced differently) but I can't be sure about the SGP. I'll check with a man who will know though, failing that I'm sure that when tickets go on sale it will be apparent. Rico Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pugwash Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 Unless you're in the main stand, there are no reserved seats and it can get a little bit heated, finding a seat. Buying an advanced ticket for a particular area, just gets you into that area. After that you're on your own, great fun really. Last year we sat in sector A next to the main stand, it's O.K but you need to get a seat early doors as it's quite popular with the more sedate Polish fans. This year we're down the back straight with the more "bouyant" Polish fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rico Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 (edited) Keep an eye out on here and the SpeedwayWorld pages for when the tickets go on sale. Not sure when they are likely to go on sale. Rico Edited January 11, 2005 by Rico Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't speak highly enough of Wroclaw both as a city to visit and a racetrack. The GP last year was superb. I think you've made a wise choice for your overseas debut.

Rico Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 (edited) I take your kidding about learning Polish then, or do i really need to learn it.Terry <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Terry, I always think it is more polite to go to a foreign country and know a little bit of the language, even it is just to say thanks, please, yes and no for example. Helpful couple of websites to give you a taster of Polish. BBC Languages - Comes with some audio on the basic phrases Single Serving - handy little website for going on tour. You even get taught how to swear like a native I found almost all of the people involved in restaurants/hotels spoke at least a little English. Apologies if I made you panic Terry ! The only time I've encountered difficulties in the past has been when booking train tickets but if I'm not sure I just make sure I've got the phrase I want written down in advance. Rough Guide does a very handy little phrasebook if you do feel inclined to try a little. Given the difficulty in pronouncing polish words correctly (from English being first language) it has phonetic pronounciation which comes in handy.

witches forever Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 Thanks for that Rico will get learning asap, i heard polish is one of the hardest languages to learn so wish me luke.

Mad Mitch Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 We went to Wroclaw for the World under 21 Final in September. Regular tram journies to the gates of the park takes about 20mins from cc. The Box office is at the entrance to the park. on practice day (fri) we collected our tickets there which were prepaid online. When you see the price of a programme in Poland you,l probably buy 10! From there its a fair walk into the middle of the park to the "Olympic" Stadium (1936) ? We were pretty close to the starting gates but I got the impression we would have got a good view anywhere. Immediately next to the stadium there were plenty kiosks for grub, beer, coffee,souveniers &etc. The toilets were clean & convenient, always keep some coins back for the ladies who keep them so well. Last tram to cc is about 1120pm but don,t leave it till then. Polish beer is a fair bit stronger than German Pils and thats b4 u start on their Wodka. If you take it easy you,l remember some of the speedway. I,m sorry to say I dont know a word of Polish, spoke the Scottish version of english ? but we were 2 weeks there and are going back again this year. Great country Great people Great SPEEDWAY PS Didnt have any problems till we got to Prague ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
