James 12345 Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 Just wondering if anyone has any information on when tickets will be released for the SGP in Riga, Latvia? I can't seem to find any tickets anywhere, and does anyone have an idea of how much they will cost? This will be my first foreign GP so does anyone have any tips on booking tickets, flights, hotels and anything I should worry about e.g. hidden costs etc... Plus I've seen on this forum and on the internet that the stadium in Riga isn't up to a great standard but was being re-developed? Has there been any developments on this?

Happy to try and help on a couple of points-firstly Latvia is 2 hours ahead of the uk at present and probably in August still 2 hrs ahead. Ryanair,Wizzair and Air Baltic are likely to have the cheapest flights from the UK(obviously don`t know in which part of the country you are living. On all my foreign GP trips I use booking.com for hotels. From the info on the GP website the Riga stadium appears not to be to far out of the city. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be surprised if they don't print tickets and instead give you an ink hand stamp lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James 12345 Posted March 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2014 I went onto the SGP website and foudn this email for the track at Riga, info@bksb.lv Emailed them asking about tickets and got a response saying they're already on sale and can be bought here; http://www.bilesuserviss.lv/eng/concerts/sports/motoru_sports/?concert=140898 Does this seem like a trustworthy site?

There is no problem but if you pay by UK credit card then you have to pick the tix up from the box office - they won't post them to you. I have reserved my tickets for pick up at the venue.

manchesterpaul Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 (edited) It looks like RIga has the 'Brazilian World Cup Stadium' syndrome at the moment as there seems to have been a 'pause' in the progress of refurbishing the stadium. Sportowefakty reported a couple of weeks ago; "We reported in mid-November, in the sorry state it is "Bikernieku complex SportaPro Baze" located at Eizensteina Town. Later, at the end of last year we reported that something had moved to the preparation and on the oval stadium picking up a few hundred tons of Norwegian dolomite . Because we have the Riga his messengers, with full confidence we can say that since then the arena, where in less than five months to race the best players in the world, it has literally nothing! More recently, in an interview granted to our portal Andrew Lebedev asked about the disturbing stagnation in the preparation of the stadium said: - Everything will be ready for 100 percent., I'm sure. You can do wonders." Oh well at least we don't have workers dying during the construction.....ummm! are there any workers actually on site? Do we have any Latvian fans on here who have updated news regards the condition of the stadium now? I noticed in the last batch of photos intended to show what had been done that the seating appeared to be the same rotting wood and crumbling concrete. Somehow i don't think they will be ripping it out (ok or sneezing near it so that it falls over and can be swept away) and replacing it with modern stadium seating. Although if they do all credit to them. Edited April 10, 2014 by manchesterpaul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humphrey Appleby Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 Sportowefakty reported a couple of weeks ago; Notwithstanding that Sportowefakty is the Pravda of OneSport, it looked like a bit of a tall order to turn that 'stadium' into something half-fit for a GP.
