any had any experience of the hospitality packages available and whether they considered them value for money or not?

 

Yes I have for several years- Silver package. Advantages best startline seats saved for the hospitality packages plus early entry. disadvantage ends up at over £100 for 3 course meal and programme.For last couple of years we have just gone for the best seats we can get and forgo the meal.

Why cant the date be announced at the G.P. last night ? That way people can rebook the hotel there and then !!!! Most people there last night will be at work tomorrow when its announced,The mass scramble for over priced hotels will start tomorrow.Just shows how appreciated us fans are.

My own thoughts on he GP was that the track held up well as others have said gate 1 was a huge advatage early on and it was nice to see a surprise winner of the final.Have been on and off for the last 10yrs but felt that it was a little flat last night can't quite put my finger on it but felt last year was a better event .Think the title isTai's to lose but I hope he is made to work for it and his rocket ship bike dosn't give him too much of an advantage .

You have to bear in mind it takes common sense to do something like that.

Because if they announce it while the regulars are at the meeting, the people at home will get on the phone and book the hotels for next year leaving those in the stadium buggered for next year!

 

Anyway, ask the hotels what date it's going to be. They all know in advance when the big events are going to be.

Yes the meeting had a few moments but wasn't the greatest of meetings

I totally agree. But the reason why its a 5pm start is to give people the choice, to either stay and pay the vastly inflated prices or go home. If you stay then your credit card must have more money in it than sense, and good luck to you paying it off.

Fair point, but for people like me going to Cardiff and back is a no go, I would love to go but hotels in and around Cardiff and ticket prices are just plain crazy.

Exactly, but if those want to do it as i said it is there perogative, they have that choice.

But you could always travel 20 miles away from Cardiff and get a reasonable price room.

We asked this morning at reception and was told they didn't know the date for next year as we do every year.We choose to stay for the weekend because we enjoy doing that and its too far to travel for the day.An announcement could be made in the stadium before the end of the meeting.It doesn't have to go out live on tv.

Weve tried that and there not all that reasonable,then you have to taxi into Cardiff and back to the hotel.
