Will wait till the line ups announced I think. Just told my brother £19 and he's having second thoughts at that price. Up the pub maybe I was told at Lydd yesterday that some tracks will be charging £20, plus programme and parking. An astronomical amount for such a watered down product. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrizHeathen Posted May 10, 2021 Report Share Posted May 10, 2021 I'm not sure i understand the questioning of the small increase on entrance prices. Pubs have put beer up, hotels have put there rates up. Everyone is going to have to claw back some lost revenue after being out of business for such an extended period, speedway is no different. Most supporters will be super eager to get back into stadia and watch racing....can't please everyone though, thats the way it goes. I think £20 for a good night out is ok, all things considered, even though i'd be happy if it was less . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree everything is going up,seems people are even happy paying double for a holiday in the UK to what they have paid before.Yet people worry about an extra £1.

Bagpuss Posted May 10, 2021 Report Share Posted May 10, 2021 I expect the issue people have is that we are paying more for a weaker product....no Lambert, Doyle, Fricke, Thorsell, Tungate etc compared to last time but more to get in. Pubs won’t be serving weaker beer or hotels offering less comfortable beds you’d imagine! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I perhaps I was foolish to think at last a coordinated launch with Covid compliance details etc and the PL entering the information age. Now it could be 12 noon tickets on-line available for a meeting with no line-up declared (12 riders / 16 riders?) or 15Ht / 20 Ht / 22Ht's etc formula announced, to be held on a night where the forecast is light rain for most of the day. So, will terrace folk be allowed into the downstairs bar if the rain gets heavier? Whats the provision for previous rain-off tickets from 2019. It could be worse there could be a price increase (whoops!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crumpiefan Posted May 11, 2021 Report Share Posted May 11, 2021 I'm just checking the site regularly but I think it will be a few days before the Belle Vue and Ipswich tickets go on sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfsbane Posted May 12, 2021 Report Share Posted May 12, 2021 “There will be a restricted attendance level to start the season which the club sincerely hope will increase beyond June 21 to ensure the sport is viable at Monmore Green to see out the season.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, the inside will be very restricted and the outside given its relative small space from top step to bottom wont be allowed to hold too many I would think.. Maybe not ever 1000 at a reduced capacity in total? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of councils seem to have imposed very low limits in this phase Even Ipswich at 2000 is only about 20% of the normal potential capacity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
