For a BHM meeting v Sheffield it is very surprising... SON and BF ticket costs impacting the Aces' "bread and butter" meetings? Expect the weather forecast may have a lot to do with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever since SoN tickets went on sale, crowds for BV meetings have been down, fans had to pay out big expense and then couldn't go to the next few meetings. SoN tickets should have gone on sale in February in my opinion. Pre-sales of grandstand tickets give an indication of what the crowd will be like, todays pre-sales are double that of King's Lynn last week but still 200-300 down on a usual bank holiday meeting against local rivals. This morning rain and news of R/R for Kurtz will put off quite a few who pay on the day. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikebv Posted May 27, 2024 Report Share Posted May 27, 2024 Who paid for the SON of a few years ago? Two meetings, Saturday and Sunday... Only cost around fifty quid for both... Presume that wasn't a quarter of a million? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is different this time Belle Vue are having to pay Discovery £300,000 to host it then they get the ticket money. Plus has to be minimum set capacity so the extra grandstand is costing over £100,000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
