Ticket Prices 2016


Recommended Posts

A pound per heat at this level is more than enough. Especially when you factor in the lack of other entertainment on offer at most meetings.

 

Over a pound per minute of entertainment is terrible value compared to other activities people could be going and spending their hard earned on.

I have never paid to park at ashfield and (touch wood) the only problem I ever had was when i parked over the wall at apex of bends 3&4. Returned to find the car covered in shale

 

I think £17 is too much I said last year when it was introduced at Armadale and say it again now, to jump from £15 to £17.50 is a big hike and £1 extra to sit in the stand is totally taking the mic.

 

Now what Edinburgh did was have an advanced ticket discount bringing the price back to £15 which I think is the right price, hopefully that is still available. Will be very interesting to see what our prices are, only season tickets out so far. We had poorer than average crowds at the start of last season after having a brilliant season before and I suspect that was because of the price increase so hope they have learned.

 

The new rule about home teams not paying away riders means successful teams will cost more so maybe it is protection against that. Another example of speedway promoters letting self interest get in the way of the good of the sport.

At the end of the day everyone knows the facts.

 

Riders are having to ride for multiple clubs to make a decent living, Equipment costs are huge compared to non-motorsports, Speedway clubs lose money in the UK, the stadiums are the pits. Glasgow have a beautiful stadium, lots of entertainment and a quality side. But if it's not sustainable it's not sustainable.

 

Glasgow season ticket is same price as edinburgh. IE £15 a meeting.

The point was made earlier in this thread about the admission price at Glasgow being dropped to £15 last season making the increase for 2016 to £17-50 all the more eye watering . But what do we do ? We love our speedway , so there's no alternative but to pay the hike .

And not buy a programme to offset it!

Dear me, no. Nothing so common. I said "something smarter". Try next to the Facennas' Maybachs, Alan Dick's F40, or Stewart Dickson's Veyron.

 

I suppose you are trying to be funny but generally even sarcasm relies on an element of truth in order to be funny. I believe Alan Dick doesn't own a car ...................

I leave my car in the streets opposite every week. Never had any trouble. To me you'd be daft to use the secure car park (which I think is next to the Ashfield bar ).

Then you are very lucky. It's well known there have been a lot of problems for people parking around Ashfield. I took a basic Hyundai so every car in the area was better than it but still got broken into 4 times in one season, the reason I took a car park season ticket the last season under the old regime. From personal experience I think you'd be daft if you do leave your car in surrounding streets, not that I have to worry about that any more but I'd still hate to see others go through what a good number of us have in the past. The local window replacement company even sent me a Christmas card that season :/

Almost scared to comment but I honestly have not heard of any of my friends having problems - they all park in the streets around the track - apart from a good few years ago in the street behind the 3rd/4th bend. but since the housing was built no probs. I use the train now theres a sunday service so doesn't affect me but not conscious of seeing any broken windows/glass etc on my way to the station. Obviously sorry that its happened to you and to others

Used to hear about this happening a while back but it appears to be a thing off the past thankfully I have never had any problems with parking and as i say there has been no reports that any have been broken into for a while now.

 

So from my own personal experience there is no problem parking in the street's around the stadium.
