Grand Prix Ticket Sales

[BluPanther]

Adult (18+) £215... Concession £215... Student £215...

Concessions: Customers must be either: State retirement age; Disabled client; Carer of disabled client. Proof of eligibility required on entry to Stadium.
Student: Student in full-time education (NUS card holder). Proof of eligibility required on entry to Stadium.

WHAT A COMPLETE JOKE... 🤣

Those prices are ridiculous compared to the other events in the series. Yes it's a far better track than Cardiff and far superior racing but the facilities are not as good. For the SON there were very large queues for food/drink outlets, no running water in the toilets in the South Stand, one of my tickets did not work. If these two events do not sell out then whoever is responsible for those prices should really have a good look at themselves. People will vote with their feet. Such a shame as it should be an event that we are all getting excited about not moaning about the pricing structure.

Its got disaster written all over it with those prices. I have never seen anything like it for a speedway event. Be cheaper to fly to Poland for a GP.

It's their funeral, obviously didn't learn from the SON.

For the last 9 years we have been wanting a GP at this wonderful racetrack, for this year our wishes were finally fulfilled.
I was concerned when it was then announced there would be 2 nights, why do we need 2 nights, no other GP has had 2 nights not only will it make it more expensive for everyone (nearly double price) but anyone not local would need a (expensive hotel).
The ticket prices have now been announced and I’m dismayed.
Last year’s ticket prices for SoN were bad enough and showed by the empty extra grandstand, thought they would have learnt from that but no they made it even more expensive!
One night price is expensive enough but for 2 nights there is little discount. It’s depressing.
Will I be there, yes I will reluctantly pay it but I only live 5 minutes away. Thousands won’t be paying it now though. 
To make matters worst for Belle Vue this will affect crowds levels for the next few months as those local who do choose to pay it will pick and choose the league meetings they go to as can’t afford both.

Disgusted with those prices. Say what you want about the numbers at Cardiff, you could get an on the day ticket for £20. It makes no sense to get rid of it. 
 

and they wonder why the sport is dying.

Warsaw GP £10-£80

Czech GP £57-£81

Malilla GP £31

...and don't forget it's possibly the weakest GP line-up ever in terms of competitiveness to be World Champion, with the 2 main challengers not included and riders picked based on nationality rather than performance

Its a bit more to pay than I was expecting but I will be paying it if I can get a seat, will not pay that for standing though.

Works out at £107.50 for one day, I paid £85.00 for Cardiff about three years ago so with rising costs and a much smaller crowd than Cardiff its to be expected to a certain extent.

This is offset by getting a cheap hotel deal so works a bit better.

Lol if you can get a seat.  You'll have the whole row to yourself.  If you sit in the East Stand you can have the whole stand to yourself 🤣

Are we sure Lemo's not been doing his spread sheets using Australian Dollars?

[IainB]

How about a wild card for Artem Laguta one night and Emil Sayfutdinov on the other?

probably why they were losing so much money on it as they couldn’t get big crowd even at those prices. 

[LagutaRacingFan]

I don't like the ticket prices, but anyone thinking they are not going to sell out very quickly is wrong.

The capacity at NSS is tiny and there are tens of thousands of speedway fans in the UK.

I think my budget will stretch to one of the 2 days, standing tickets for me the Mrs and my lad is still the best part of £200 for the 3 of us, but it’s not exactly drawing me in to go

Dont fancy the East stand, not such a good view.

[proud panther]

Yep

I live about the same distance from Cardiff as I do Belle Vue. The appeal of Cardiff had clearly declined for many but I carried on going to the end and never missed one. 

The sub-standard line up and the comical points scoring system was already enough for me to decide I wouldn’t be doing another GP anywhere in a hurry.
