Rob B Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 Tickets for the German GP went on sale yesterday, we have got front row back straight again, great view of track and into pits where you can virtually touch the riders below for £30.

paul666 Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 Hi Rob, What block are you in C or D, I'm in D2 should be just above the rider number 13 or 14. I can't believe they still had front row seats still left, this year I ended up in the gods, good view though. Hope they don't run out of beer outside again! And better toilet arrangements . Best wishes Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob B Posted December 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 Last year we were in D2 and was above Gollob/Andersen. This year we have gone for C2 so we are above the top guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob B Posted December 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 Just had an email from them saying that rows 1 & 2 are not available now as they are covering them up for health & safety reasons, not too happy about it but can't do much about it, don't know why they are being covered up they are about 10 foot off the ground and have the pits inbetween the track.

Rico Posted December 7, 2007 Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 Maybe it's the Health & Safety of the riders ? Perhaps one or two complained about the saliva dripping from above Rico Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob B Posted December 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2007 Probably, this year I could lean over and nearly tap Tomasz Gollob on the head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant see whats wrong with that myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Rob, As a matter of interest, how far in advance of the German GP did you get your tickets last year? i.e. When did you receive them in the post?

Badge Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 (edited) Think this taken from speedwayworldtv: THE FIM have confirmed the regulations for the richest race in speedway at the end of the season. A prize fund of $200,000 will be up for grabs in the last heat of the Grand Prix series at Gelsenkirchen on October 11. Last year, Andreas Jonsson won $100,000 for his win in the German Grand Prix to mark the 100th GP since the competition began back in 1995. However, this year's prize heat will be an extra race on the card after the German GP has completed - and it will feature the winners of the four meetings deemed as Super Prix, those being Gothenburg, Copenhagen, Cardiff and Gelsenkirchen. The winner of the race will pocket $120,000 with the consolation prizes being $40,000 for second place, $25,000 for third and $15,000 for fourth. A chance to the World Cup regulations announced at the FIM Congress was that teams will revert to being made up of five riders, as it was agreed that the six-man format used in 2007 was unsatisfactory. Ole Olsen has signed a new three year deal to continue as Race Director for the Grand Prix and World Cup series, and Olsen is also a member of the SGP Commission alongside CCP President Roy Otto and FIM Sporting Director Ignacio Verneda. will help push the tickets for this year, an extra race for a large purse, sounds like a great finale to the GP's , however have to hope we have 4 winners of those picked GP's, otherwise could cause problems Edited February 29, 2008 by Badge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sancho Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 I think lots of riders complained about how close supporters were last year. We were above Scotty & could watch his monitor for replays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 Just been having a look on a few flight websites and it doesn't look as if tui are flying from Birmingham any longer. Shame as their flights are quite cheap too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandie Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 You are soooooooooooo spoilt but what he doesnt realise is that he wont need his box - its an all-seater stadium and the view is quite good whatever your size!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame as their flights are quite cheap too. We flew from east mids last year with easy jet but their not going to germany either. We have booked birmingham to dusseldorf but I think flights have gone up in price since we booked cos our friends paid an extra £25 each.
