richardk Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 I have just received the best Christmas present from the wife, she has bought us VIP Hospitality tickets for the 2011 grand prix at Cardif, I am counting the days already. We go every year but usually sit up on the back straight so this time it will be something special. I was wondering if anyone on here has had these tickets before and what we should expect ie what time we can get into the stadium? can we go in on the Friday and Saturday? etc. It would be great to hear from anybody who has done this before and and what they got out of their day.

richardk Posted December 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 Thanks for the reply I had read that information on the Grand Prix web site but I would still like to hear from anyone who has previously bought this package and experienced it.

jellyman Posted March 17, 2011 Report Share Posted March 17, 2011 Thanks for the reply I had read that information on the Grand Prix web site but I would still like to hear from anyone who has previously bought this package and experienced it. My partner and I have done it a few times. For the first couple of GPs in Cardiff it was fantastic. However, the last two times it felt a lot less exclusive. Everyone was crammed into the dining room and the quality of the food wasn't great. The smart gifts that you used to get in your goody bag such as the methanol club jackets have now been replaced with sponsors mouse mats and key rings. Now the price has risen to £350 it's just not value for money. You'd be better off buying good tickets and booking a table at a decent restaurant. Having said all of that. The one thing that you will experience is walking out from the pits, down the tunnel the riders come out of to the side of the track. The first time I did that and saw and heard the crowd it really was a hair standing up on the back of my neck moment. You couldn't buy that.
