sounds like good value, so long as they sent out the programs with the tickets like previous years. Its a pain having to wait till i get to cardiff on Thursday. And why only with adult tickets? My 13 year old lad is well annoyed that he wont be able to have one.

Lend him your programme then!!! :)
I agree they should send out the programmes to the people who have purchased tickets in adavance e.g a month before the Rally! Then people who have booked tickets within a month of the Rally have to pick them up from where ever necessary! Mind you I bet it saves them on postage and packing as the prices have not dropped!!! It porabably costs them less to have someone to distribute them to the allocated pick up points as highlighted in another thread!!
All the best

Depends realy on the options but the fact still remains that ticket prices have rised 100% since the first proper ticketing event in 2000. The GP in that time has droped its price's by just under 20%. And with the almost cirtain withdraw of Ford that will leave 3 full time 'works back WRC teams'. Dont that seem even more unattractive for £130 where you can see the same qualty cars and not even better drivers in Ireland? for £90?

how can you even suggest paying £130 to watch the rally.....
should be £50 max to cover every stage...

£50 does sound better but do you really think they will drop the price ?
i can remember paying £5 per car per stage, made no difference if you was on your own or got a car full.
the only way the price will ever drop is if ticket sales next year drops by about 60% because then they wont have a choice in case no one turns up the year after

Sometimes we forget that most other WRCs are FREE for spectators. I usually go to the Monte and it is so refreshing to be able to select which stages to attend, and not have to worry about the cost. I do find the EPs very restictive as I like to select where to view on a stage.

I was at Monte Carlo this year too. I have one question Why can they do it for free and here we get charged ? They dont pay the marshalls out of the profits they make, the competitors pay to enter and we are surpose to be the home of motor sport

look at the monte marshalling though! stage cancelations for overcrouding and parking on the stages - although i suppose it doesnt need to be that much
