Parklife festival that weekend, already one of the highest demand weekends in Manchester all year, nothing to do with Speedway

Parkllife is in July.  11, 12, 16, 19, 20 July - Manchester, Heaton Park

For those that bitched about 'rip off Cardiff' , I see that Premier inns in Manchester are all around £400 or more for those 2 nights.

Bargain! 👍

Huh? Loads of city centre hotels with available rooms for Friday at £150.00 and £350 Sat/sun on booking.com

Perhaps there are. I was talking about Premier inn.

The prices on Booking.com aren't much different to Cardiff on a gp weekend.

All  I was saying is that Cardiff is no different to Manchester.

I'd booked my Cardiff hotel but luckily on a refundable rate so i've just cancelled and will get my money back.  I feel sorry for those who wont get a refund. The date should not have been announced months ago as I reckon many people probably booked the hotels on a non refundable basis due to the prices being cheaper.  As much as I love the GP I doubt I'lll risk getting tickets for Manchester, I know some will say it doesn't rain much up there but if it does that could be a whole weekend wiped out.  I wonder what the riders think about a double header GP ?

Maybe the subsidy by from the Welsh tourist board has finished or been dramatically reduced to make the event unviable. 
Local businesses are going to suffer unless some other event gets booked in. 
Also it shows the way not to address the problem of declining attendance is to shove the prices up way beyond inflation. 

BV need to take heed - no guarantee of the meetings being a sell out as both will be on TV & should price tickets to pass on the benefit of their fixed costs now being spread across two meetings instead of just the one intended.

why would anyone book and pay for something in advance with checking on cancellation fees ? surely you would have insurance more fool them for booking without checking let's face it it's dear in the 1st place !!

I don’t think that’s the point he is making (getting money back )

So, the "new era" keeps going from strength to strength,  the series is down to 1 big stadium in a major city, there's little to no promotion, all of the world's best riders are not riding in the series, the points system is a shambles, you can win a GP by coming 10th, the "sprint race" is not a sprint race... hang on though, there's TV screens and a camera in each pit bay, that'll get the masses queuing for tickets!

At least we have the new countries they said they'd take the series to. 🙄
