Sandie Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 At the mo ............. thought they all went up closer to the date this year! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Some do but hotels like 'The MacDonald Lodge' say that once you have your reference number the price is secure!

Result <{POST_SNAPBACK}> When did you get those? I'm thinking of not going, best offer I found was at the same hotel I stayed at this year - except for double the price and no breakfast !

Rob B Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 Not sure if I've missed it somewhere, have they said how much tickets are going up after 31st December? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leanne1706 Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 I've never been to the Cardiff GP before and am just about to book tickets - can anyone recommend which price bracket to go for? There's £29, 35, 40, 50, 55, 60 and 75. What's the differences??? Any advice gratefully received! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any advice gratefully received! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> having been there for football and speedway, there is a good view and atmosphere anywhere you go, not sure what the speedway would be like from the bottom tier though which I think are the £29 tickets. Personally i go for £50 tickets and get front row of the middle tier on the bends, worked for me last year so no need to change a winning formula aisle seats too for 2007 , just in case i need to get some refreshments in I think the dearer tickets are then on the straights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you mean about the atmosphere there, have been for international ruggers and it was great! Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried all the usuall places but nothing doing. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I've got a family room at Bridgend Pencoed Travelodge (just did a Google search for Travelodge!), as all the others that were any closer were full up! It's £49 and sleeps up to three adults. It says 20 miles from Cardiff, so we'll probably get a train from there. Unless anyone can tell us anything closer??? But I thought I'd better book this coz I don't fancy kipping in the car! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Cheetah Snr Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 It says that ticket prices are frozen at last year's prices but no mention if programmes are included. If not it is already a £6-7 increase without the price rise after December. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21st century heathen Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 Maybe I'm just being cynical but I think the price will go up significantly after the 31st Dec. It's already anything but cheap (ave. £50), and I suspect that the temptation to cash in is going to be too great for BSI to resist. They know we all love it, and people are going to be prepared to pay silly prices. I also suspect that the price increase will be enough for them to do the same thing next year. (ie hold the 2007 price until the end of the year) Don't surprised if the average ticket is more like £60 next time round. But like I said...maybe it's just me. ???

Gemini Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 (edited) not sure what the speedway would be like from the bottom tier though which I think are the £29 tickets. Thanks Boggle - I was thinking that £50 seems to be in the middle so I think that's what we will go for. We're in the £29 seats and they are in the middle tier on the first bend so no need to pay £50. We have always gone in the middle tier, but everywhere I suppose has a good view, although I've heard some forum members say they aren't keen on the bottom tier because it feels "too closed in." See here. http://www.seetickets.com/speedwaygp/locat...iller2=multisgp ......and seating plan. http://www.speedwayworld.tv/cardiff2007/seatingplan.gif Edited August 15, 2006 by Gemini Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Bee Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 We're on the bottom tier and I absolutely love it Fantastic view close to the action. Didn't think I would like it the first time we tried, but it's now the third year we will have been in the same block and it's fantastic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob B Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 Never been in the middle tier, can't justify the stupid price, been in the top tier a few times and thats a great view, but last three years have been in the bottom tier as my wife doesn't like heights. Its a good view but I prefer the top teir more personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
