Excuse me, with the greatest respect, but I just don't understand. It may be full on the night "but that's all". What does that mean, but that's all? Surely you can't do better than full? And what does the Palmy weather have to do with anything?

Let's do it on the terracotta,

By the time i drive down to palmy and the cost to do that for a start,and they tell me on the palmy site its going to cost me $55 each night,$40 to get in $10 for a seat and $5 to park the car,i will give this one a miss.

And you felt the need to inform everybody you weren't going to be there? The fact it'll be all but sold out, if not sold out, yet again, proves many others disagree........

Flying from sydney for this one...gonna be mean as!

[theothermikeyb]

I have to laugh at people bagging the price. By all means, don't come but the meeting itself is worth a lot more than they charge. Suspect you can add another $10 to the price and the place will still pack out. Quite simply, most people think its worth it!

I liken it to paying more for a top rock concert than you'd pay for a local cover ban.

[tony27]

Still costs less than the sevens & you won't find most fans wanting to miss all but the final few races

Nothing wrong with gate prices stop ya moaning. 40 dollars for 3.5 hours entertainment is cheap these days, and the action on track is worth every dollar to a genuine superstock fanatic

the one thing that has only changed since the days of $20 & $25 admission is a big screen. the action on the track has become less.....and yet we are paying more?? that may be the reason crowd numbers have been less in recent times.......

[screaminV8]

Yeah, and petrol was $1.59 a litre! Times change, and inflation is inevitable.

I think its unbelievably good value. The same $75 last week would only have got you ONE nights entertainment watching the monster truck thingys at WP.
If the All Blacks played at the Arena I don't think you would get in for $40!?

[pfloyd]

why do threads always get ruined by people grizzling about the pricing - stay home and watch Coronation st - struth !

[scotty10]

Haha great call above^. Crowd numbers less busterbell? Have you even been the last few years? I still need to line up around lunch time so I can get a decent seat. I think you're way off the mark, and I'm being very polite.....that's right just stay home chief, if you don't support the event go somewhere else fella

Busterbell is correct, the place does not pack out the way it used to. And yes, I have been going to the event since the early nineties.

Have people ever thought that it may not be the price that is deterring people? but the drunken behaviour of some people that put people off going?

There are far more seats in the place these days. Additional temporary grandstands plus all those little plastic seats on the terraces so more can be accommodated.
Hasn't the grandstand seating been extended towards the track too?

I also believe that live streaming is lowering numbers.
We had this discussion with a group a couple of weeks ago..that groups of friends or sports clubs etc can book these speedway events for $25 or so and a big group can put on the big screen in the comfort of there own homes and save alot of $ no travel, motels expensive food & drinks etc.
I hope it doesnt start to ruin these events.
The promotion will have to stop live streaming if things got to bad.
My opinion tho you cant beat being there live.

[Ben Biggs]

Dumb question... and I should know the answer, but Im gonna ask anyway, on behalf of a Teams Champs virgin , do they do gate sales on the night?? She is being encouraged to go by a guy and asked me if a pre bought ticket was necesary.
