Is it just me, or are ticket prices going through the roof these days??! I'm starting to find it a little prohibitive these days along with everything else.
I'll use the F1 at Silverstone this year as an example (ok I know its at the top end of the spectrum but bare with me!). I'm only going for Friday practice this year as I'm shooting a show jumping event on Sunday. For a GA ticket on Friday it was almost £60 just for the practice sessions. Race day tickets are obviously far more expensive but the kick in the teeth was this;
For race day the GA ticket starts at around the £100 mark. BUT, you have to pay another £19 to park??
Whats going on? A couple of years ago you could get a GA race day ticket for £50 and I've never heard of parking charges!
Rant over, but I'll be doing a lot less motorsport in the coming years the way this is going.
PS - anyone got any spare press passes kicking about? :nuts:
