I have no issue being there that long at all. Would buy a $50 ticket if it was just me but alas it's not! But thanks for the confirmation!

I dont get why more people dont buy a $50 ticket. it's only an extra $10, which is a couple less coffees in the week leading up to tickets being released.

The group of us dressed in pink certainly lower the standards up there |

The beauty of buying a $50 ticket (if you can afford it) is it allows you to wander the pits for an hour or so and not have to worry about finding a seat. Roll on the weekend!!

It's $10 per night extra, which is $20, and if you're paying for even one more person (as many do as a couple) that's an extra $40 for the weekend, so it adds up quite quick Ben. Not everybody can justify that expense. EDIT; Oops, macgor had already responded. My bad. Barry B |

Eg for a family of 5 your $10 is their $50 ooooh how times change! remember this  "Better venue , more cars , and if you've ever done much travelling you'd know the cost of getting in is not a deal breaker when compared to the other costs involved in getting there."

You're assuming we're not talking about locals.If you're travelling I have often advocated buying a ticket in advance to be sure of getting in not pushing them to buy a grandstand seat if they don't want one. |
