racers and royals Posted October 10, 2016 Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 (edited) Anyone know how ticket sales are going ? Last year just over 26,000 was the announced attendance. Will they be happy with that sort of figure again ?? Jack Holder comes in as a reserve. Edited October 10, 2016 by racers and royals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As no answer to my question has been forthcoming I thought I would try and find the answer myself- checking the ticket website interactive map it seems that a lot of the blocks are sold out which I can only deduce will mean more there than last year. I am also assuming that David Tapp and Jason Crump will be providing the commentary on the world feed. They are both doing a preview on Fox motorsport tomorrow night.

BT probably not taking the world feed on this occasion with KT and NP doing their commentary. Latest word I had from Melbourne is that Jason Doyle's untimely injury will have a significant impact on sales ... can no longer promote on the basis of a possible/probable Aussie World Champion being crowned at the Etihad. Big blow for them and Jason of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do feel for the Aussia fans(did i really say that?)as the sport originated to a large extent in the country and they finally had the chance to see a home rider crowned world champ and it was cruelly taken away from them 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ovalman Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 (edited) Had planned to go as we are off to Aussie in 3 weeks but glad we changed our travel plans. Bruv from Adelaide is flying in but says will be anti-climax with Swindon skipper Doyley unable to compete in own country and being crowned world champ.

racers and royals Posted October 16, 2016 Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 (edited) Hope someone tells BT SPORT that the meeting starts 1 hour earlier than they think- it`s still on the planner as 9.45am programme start for 10 am 1st race instead of the correct time of 9am 1st race.

PHILIPRISING Posted October 16, 2016 Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 Good job the fans informed you on here #goBSF I THINK they would have realised sooner rather than later. BSI's TV production team arrive in Melbourne tomorrow and would have been in contact with BT almost immediately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am guessing the confusion over times was that BT had omitted to realise the clocks went forward an hour on 2nd October. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why my first post on the UK time for the GP was not made until the 3rd October after I had double checked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triple.H. Posted October 17, 2016 Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 I know Sam Masters deserves his place due to his performance in the Australian championship. But with Jason Doyle out wouldn't it have made business sense to put U21 WC Max Fricke in the line up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Smith Posted October 17, 2016 Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 I'm just a tad concerned as just over 3 days until practice and the track still isn't, by a long way completed. Could be a rough nights (mornings) racing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
