OveFundinFan Posted December 21, 2019 Report Share Posted December 21, 2019 3 hours ago, Fromafar said: Is it £35 per ticket/meeting=£70.? That will be £35 for standing on the back straight for one person for the two nights racing ie £17.50 per meeting, but looks like you can only buy tickets for the two meetings. If you stand at either end of the back straight you are coming out of turn 2 or going into turn 3. Most expensive is £80 for the two meetings and that is grand stand seats in the section at the start line for both nights. There are two other options in the grandstand, £65 and £60. The £65 for the sections either side of the £80 start line section, and £60 for the sections at each end of the grandstand - meaning going into first bend and coming out of last corner. There is a link on page 3 of this thread that shows the seating/pricing plan. Looks like only 16 seats at this point in time time left in the £80 centre section of the grandstand, and some of those are single seats.. Plenty seats left in the £65 and £60 sections, but could be majority if not all of those will be gone quickly. I would imagine the sale of tickets has opened up in all countries at same time, so Polish fans etc will be buying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made the mistake yesterday of thinking you could only buy tickets on a day to day bases, then it was pointed out that the prices cover both days which IMO makes them very good value. I bought grandstand tickets and when you pick the print at home option both days tickets are there. Looking at the availability this morning there`s quite a few tickets gone already with the centre section is just about gone but there is still tickets there for the other seated sections.

OveFundinFan Posted December 21, 2019 Report Share Posted December 21, 2019 I guessing at £50 for the 2 day event in the temp 3/4 bend yet to be released. though the track it raceable when wet temp stand does not cover spectators. But its going to be sunny.... thnk positively.i Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Yorker Posted December 23, 2019 Report Share Posted December 23, 2019 I'm not going to miss this. Will be my first speedway race after being a devoted fan on youtube etc. for the last seven years. Also my first trip to Europe. I would appreciate any advice on where to sit (going that far for a race I'm not going to worry about cost of seating) and hotel accommodations. Transportation etc. Really very excited about this! Looking forward to any recommendations. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OveFundinFan Posted December 23, 2019 Report Share Posted December 23, 2019 Where to sit, at the moment it’s only the grandstand that has seats, the covered area on the back straight is standing only (£35). So depends where you like to be, right on the start gate (£80), jut a bit towards turn 1 (£65), a bit further towards turn1 (£60), or you like just coming off gate 4, or a it nearer the finish (£60 and £65). Other then that, it’s wait and see if temporary erection on bend 3/4 (yet to be announced), is seats or standing. In 2016 it was seating. I just looked at seating plan, and if I interpreted correctly all grandstand seats at the start gate are sold, and the next section going toward first bend only perhaps 10 seats left. Take a look at the seat plan for yourself, but waiting could see a sell out in the grandstand sooner rather then later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moomin man 76 Posted December 23, 2019 Report Share Posted December 23, 2019 When I logged on yesterday, there were relatively few seats left in the grandstand; the family then decided they wanted to come, so I ended up booking the family ticket, for two adults and two children on the back straight for £85. Even with the booking fee, it still worked out at less than £11 per person for each meeting, which I thought was a bargain. In due course, I can well imagine that they will release additional standing/seating tickets on the 1st/2nd and/or 3rd/4th bends, as I would imagine that a fairly sizeable proportion of tickets that were made initially made available have already gone.

As said book tickets asap, as for accommodation Manchester has the lot from basic to 5* a booking site like booking.com can help, in the UK the budget chain premier inn is good, with several hotels around Manchester, but the weekend that the speedway is on is also a bank holiday weekend, Saturday night in big cities work out fairly expensive, saying that I got a premier inn in the city centre for 2 nights for £150 for the room, 2 people, so not too expensive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Yorker Posted December 24, 2019 Report Share Posted December 24, 2019 Thanks everyone for the help!! I did book some grandstand tickets this morning and now will have to book a hotel with the help of your info.....Thanks again! Is there any place that people on this forum hang out. It would be fun to put a face on a few of these names. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neila Posted December 24, 2019 Report Share Posted December 24, 2019 No bars near the speedway, so people will be drinking in city centre, in the UK lots of people head to a weatherspoons pub, in big buildings and cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno Posted December 26, 2019 Report Share Posted December 26, 2019 I can't book my tickets yet but keep checking to see how quick there selling but surprisingly still seems plenty left and don't seem to be going that quick. I wonder if fans are waiting to see if there will be the temporary stands again and they'll be cheaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yellow and black Posted December 31, 2019 Report Share Posted December 31, 2019 Has anyone had trouble booking tickets for this? I THOUGHT I had booked two tickets in the grandstand but at the checkout it stated my card was invalid. Tried again with another card,but received the same message. Low and behold the money was taken from my bank both times but no ticket confirmation was received, and the same tickets are still on the site for sale! My bank were not interested and suggest I contact the seller. Phone number given doesn't exist, so it looks like I have been duped! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
