Got confirmation email right away then a link to print off tickets at home, so all printed off ready to go, hope you get your money back, tickets sorted

Cheers marra, yeah that's what I hoped would happen, but it didn't!

Can't believe the site said my card was invalid, but it still took my cash. To top it off the tickets I bought twice are still up for sale!!

Although i`m not a local i can see that it`s Belle Vue that are selling the tickets, through their normal system. It looks as if MPV tickets is a selling portal of  tickets .com which are based in Milton Keynes. I would if i were you,  try and contact Belle Vue asap and see if they can sort out the problem you have.

You might get more joy with Belle Vue direct as tickets. com i think provide the tools(software) for the individual teams/organisations to sell their tickets. It looks as if their office is closed until Jan 13th however you could email the general admin manager christine.simcock@bellevue-speedway.com who might look at her email`s before then.

You could also give BSI/IMG the details of the problem(as it`s linked through them) and see what they say.  https://www.speedwaygp.com/contact

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!

Booked tickets and printed at Home,no problems .E mail conformation was instant.Hope you manage to resolve the problem.Done mine of SON website.

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.

Me and a mate staying at the near Holiday inn, apparently it's about a mile from the greyhound arena

Booking 2 tickets tomorrow, still plenty available. Thought the main stand would sell out straight away. Strange. No chance of temporary stands on 3rd 4th bend I'd have thought. Didn't it sell out out straight away the last time a few years ago

Can only think it's the 2 day format that putting people off.

Just to report that I've just booked two pairs of tickets successfully. Print at home links sent via email and I've printed them.
There was someone who said they had problems getting their tickets was there not? Could it be that the important email to print at home went to their spam box?

A question. I've been to the NSS twice and have street parked both times. But for such a meeting as this, are their other options? I assume you can't book car parking at the stadium (?). But are there better options to parking at the stadium?

The organisers usually arrange parking at several locations close to the stadium (tennis club, school, shopping centre car park). Specific info will be on this page https://www.speedwaygp.com/son/event/2020-Final under 'Event Info' nearer the time.

Unfortunately I arrived late last year and was forced to park on a nearby street. Having just parked the car I was met by a local resident who asked if I was attending the speedway and then threatened that if I didn't move my car within the next five minutes he would slash my tyres - charming, eh ! :neutral:

I don’t think 2016 was a sell out. If I recall, some fans standing near the first bend (?) were moved to bend 3/4 temporary seating - presumably for tv purposes.

Might be the case that they won’t build temporary stands this year then.It was pretty full though with the stands.we were offered seating in temporary stand on 3/4bend while waiting to get into 1/2 bend standing.

So, the question is...... why are ticket sales slow this year.   Can’t be the track..... unlike last years Togliatti track BV is assured to produce top class racing.  What about the format?  After 2018 when the real winners of the event (Team GB) finished second a lot of fans expressed verbally their disapproval of the format. Ok, 2019 the format was changed so 2018 fiasco should not occur again, but has the damage been done.       
I still prefer a 4+reserve competition, but that will only put 4 countries into the final, whereas with the current flavour it’s 7 countries.

Maybe, didn't it more or less sell out both days last time and that was with the temporary stands as well

In 2016 you could buy a single day ticket or 2 day, for standing it was something like £25 for the final or £30 for both. The final was pretty much a sell out there was only a handful of tickets left before the event in the temporary stand.

The race off the temporary stand was only about half full and they were moving people from standing into there if they wanted.
