Italian Grand Prix

[cometsfan2k4]

I am thinking of going to this grand prix as I have a friend who lives only 20 miles from the track, and I have already got a return flight with Ryanair booked for only £45.

 

Does anyone have any idea how much the tickets are and when they will go on sale, and is there anyone else on the forum who will be going and can recommend things to do in the area on the day of the grand prix?

Have to say that this was my favourite GP last year.We stayed in Verona which was about 2 hours from the stadium. A great place to visit for the day. We drove to Italy via Austria and made a week of it. Loved the Italian's laid back attitude to putting the event on and was great to watch it without any drunks falling over which has become the norm in Denmark. Civilized speedway and I am sure you will enjoy it. We are driving again and stay in the Lake Garda area

Cant remember the exact price but tickets easily available at the Arena for unreserved seating that is of a temporary nature. Nothing at all in the local town of Terenzano but Udine is quite big and i suppose 20 mins away

We stayed on the edge of Udine and it is a nice town and well worth walking around but once you have done it that's it.

On the Friday we went for a 'drive' into Austria - just because we could! Scenery was beautiful

 

Then on the Saturday we met up with a friend who knew her way around and she whisked us of to a beach and it was a lovely build up to the evening GP.

 

If i was in the Country (either Uk or Italy!!) I would most definitely be heading over to this GP, we had a cracking time last year, but unfortunately we will be away elsewhere.

Thanks for the replies both, you have kinda made my mind up for me about going!

 

So would you recommend buying the tickets in advance or they will be available on the day like Westhamboy has said?

we bought in advance. It's the sense of security.

I always buy in advance but did whince at the cost of delivery for the tickets. I suppose it's whatever you are comfortable with but with the free seating arrangements (sorry i mean sit where you like no numbers) we got there about an hour and a half before the start. Not sure if you are driving but the stadium is visible from the motorway...well its right next to the motorway actually. Again not sure of how much time you have but don't forget that within a couple of hours drive of Terenzano is Venice Verona Lake garda and the beach all situated in magnificent country side. Word of warning take your comets jacket as it got a bit nippy late on! Do this GP and I'm sure you will be glad you did

Just seen the tickets have gone on sale €28 for unreserved seating will do me...well, so I thought!! €28 for the ticket you think is a good price right, until you see the delivery cost... €24!! WHAT!?? Needless to say, I will select free collection from the stadium a few hours before the start. Unbelievable delivery costs, considering it will cost them probably what, €2 to send it??
