Question Anyone used BookF1.com to book F1 tickets ?

Just wondering how good they are, and who would you use to book F1 tickets, at Siverstone (or elsewhere) ?

Why not go direct through the circuits themselves, www.silverstone.co.uk . Don't think you'll get any cheaper elsewhere, though I could be wrong?

I used this firm for Bahrain last year. The tickets were waiting for me at the desk in the airport when I arrived (sounded dodgy but thats how they did it over there).
They have good telephone support as well.

I've always booked my tickets for Montreal via the official Montreal GP site. I've spoken to others who were sat with us over the years we had been and they had booked for various different places but the cost of the tickets was the same, so I'd expect that to be true for other venues too.

Question

Too late.

I booked using BookF1 some days ago, I knew tickets were selling fast, and some had sold out.

After booking, I was a bit worried that I should have used the 'official' website.
But due to time pressure (lunch hour on a busy day, with tickets selling fast, and 200 other things to get sorted) I just did google and they came up.
In fairness the procedure at bookF1 was good, though.
Don't mind paying a bit more dosh, as long as I do get a ticket.

Should I worry, or can I sleep well tonight ?

I agree, used to book my tickets for Imola directly with the circuit over the phone. Cheapest way by far

Did you get tickets for Silverstone or somewhere else? Me and the misses going for the three days and booked some time ago as we got tickets for Luffield, this then tempted the old man who is now thinking of going but when I looked a while back everything was sold out, even general admission?

I have always used bookf1 for tickets. They are always delivered to us here in spain well in advance of the race by registered mail. Good service and very detailed map regarding circuit and parking/camping
