So last time I went, I got a couple of resold Saturday day passes off ebay, that did the job for the stages and the Stadium later on. Now I just went to buy my Saturday day pass and find that I need to buy two separate Stadium passes for the evening, on top of all that I've got 'booking fees' and 'postage' to pay, no doubt 2-4x of each. So what I thought was going to cost me £60, is now ending up being more like £100. For a day out, where I'm driving half way across the country to stand outdoors in December, having to book two nights at a B&B as well. All told, this will be £300 at least.

There must be some discounts available? No wonder rallying is losing prominence, it's too pricey!

Save your money for wrc Ireland. £100 on the boat last year for car and 3 pasengers from Holyhead and free to spectate. Saying that I have just spent £96 on my WRC pass. That would get me to Nice in Jan on British Airways for IRC Monte Calro. Already booked my fare back on Easyjet- less than £30 all in. £90 for hire car and free to spectate!

Bugger! I was just doing this year's Rally GB cos I can throw the kids in the car and go, never thought of going 'abroad'. At this rate it'll be cheaper to go to Finland next year than to stay here in rip-off Britain.

Do I win?? I've got 902 and 903 here with me! The stages are going to be empty this year!!:lol1:

And to think they said a few weeks back that sales were up 60% on last year.... trying to scare us into buying tickets were they....dont think it worked!!

And they're bloody paper again!! We laminated ours last year only to have a stroppy woman at services moaning at us because they couldn't tear off the strip for the programme, they had to use a scissors! Well guess what, same again this year! A bit a water on them and they'd be well and truly buggered, especially if the weather is the same!

The lanyards are a bit better then the red string we had last year though!!

Well, I took the plunge and bought the tickets. Only because I'd already booked a B&B in Caerphilly and cleared the weekend of other stuff, so kind of had committed to it anyway.

TBH when I saw the bill for Saturday which DID end up at almost £100 for me, wife and two very young children, I almost thought sod it. If the prices are as high next year, I doubt I'll go again.

Well 2 years ago I nearly downed that bloody helicopter, we have a large fishing tent come wind breaker thing and it was doing its normal fun and games flying low and sending dust into peoples faces and the up draft sucked my wind break into the air I had to run a grab it …. Got a cheer from the fans but still don’t get the point if flying so low and covering people with dust :mad:

The whole point is to get in close enough to check for crowd safety issues and, if necessary, shout at offenders over their PA.:nono:

It's all part of the WRC scene and I've always found the skill of the pilot extreemly entertaining. As he overflys the stage very precisely, it is useful in showing exactly where cars are coming from and going to. For me, it also helps build the anticipation of the start of the stage.

Never mind nearly losing your tent, you should have been in Sweden a couple of years ago when it stirred up a snow storm:lol1:
