severnsider Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 If this is true, I also must question the wisdom of holding this event during the school summer holidays, and to go for August Bank Holiday weekend seems even more strange. Many people will be on their annual holidays over that week and the traffic on the roads during August bank holiday weekend is horrendous. Cardiff has limited hotel capacity and they are always booked solid for GP weekend in June, so many people are going to have to brave the holiday traffic for this one. Would have been lovely, just for once, to have had Cardiff as the final GP of the season. I know BSI have to work around stadium availability etc but to see the world champion crowned at Cardiff would have been a great 'thank you' gesture to all of the British fans who have supported the Cardiff GP over the past 11 years. Perhaps BSI have already signed a contract elsewhere for the final GP of 2012. Everyone has known for ages that the olympics would cause stadium problems next year so no real surprise it had to move to later in the year. The stadium is used a lot through the year with pop concerts, football and of course rugby. The final grand prix could prove very problamatic at the stadium as there is autumn rugby internationals usually in November and Cardiff Blues have used the stadium for Heineken cup matches before now in October.

Rob B Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 School Holidays and the football season will have started. This will be the lowest Cardiff attendance ever IMO. There was no other choice, either that date or no Cardiff next year. The Stadium is only available in June/July/August due to football & rugby union, but next year the olympics are using it in July & start of August, can't be used in June as pitch will be being prepared so is perfect for Olympics.

Stokepotter Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 (edited) Just booked our tickets. Very very disappointed with the ticketing structure they have put in place. There are 16 of us that go every year. Each year we have sat in the same place give or take a row or two. We book 3x family tickets, 1 Senior citizen ticket, 1 child ticket and 2 adult tickets. This year there are NO senior citizens tickets and you can only but family tickets in certain blocks. This wouldn't bother us, but then they tell you you CAN'T buy any other tickets except family tickets in these blocks. Meaning that our group would have to sit in two totally different blocks. The way we have had to buy tickets so we can all sit together has cost us an extra £150 for tickets. How do they expect to encourage people to attend when they make it harder and more expensive for a large family to attend ! Just a word of warning for anyone who may find themselves in a similar situation ! Not impressed Edited July 16, 2011 by Stokepotter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
