Buying tickets online for a F1 race

Cashel Mc

Hi,
Am going to purchace F1 tickets on line on Friday, Just wondering what site anyone has used and trusts?

I have narrowed it down to three

Book f1
F1.com
Spa grand prix.com

Spa is the cheapest, I think its the official site, seems to be a few that look official?
Don't want to get stung.

Thanks all for any input.

I've never had issues with bookf1.com. In fact, they even send you an email asking if you want the pit walk for free.

Cashel Mc

Hi and thanks for the replys.
Just booked two tickets for Spa - Gold 9- pole position.
Can not wait as it is my first grand prix, apart from the demo in Dublin last month.:):)

I've used www.easygpt.ie/ twice now

Prices are as competitive as anyone else and I recived my ticket for Hungary last week, so they deliver in plenty of time.

Cashel Mc

Ok must try them next time.
I am watching the post everyday waiting for my tickets!
Grtting worried as I see some people already have recived tickets for spa.:(

Spa is 6 or 7 weeks away yet though. I was always told that the tickets don't become available for 2 or 3 weeks before the event. I certainly wouldn't be worrying yet

I flew to Australia with tickets bought but to be collected at the box office at Albert Park. Now that was a nervy time

I got my Valencia tickets just the week before the race!

Cashel Mc

Ok thanks for all the replys, still waiting!
Anybody else going from here?

Cashel Mc

Got my tickets today for the weekend of Spa.
Can't wait now!
Anyone any experience of driving from Cherbourg to Spa?
Anyone making this trip this year?

I'm looking at doing this with a couple of lads.

Probably a bit late to the party which means that I'll pay a bit of a premium for everything.

In relation to going via Cherbourg - did you compare this to going Dublin/Hollyhead and then Dover/Calais?

Are you driving straight from Cherbourg to Spa or planning an overnight anywhere?

Cashel Mc

Hi, I am driving straight from cherbourg. I felt that the overnight ferry from rosslare would leave me fresh for the drive, but I think overland through UK is quicker.

I should be setting out at 11.00/11.30 am all going well and arrive around 6/7.00pm at the hotel.

Be careful though! http://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/6-000-fans-left-without-tickets-for-spa-race/

Personally, I'd only/have ever buy tickets from either the circuit direct or www.formula1.com which is the official site.

Advantage of the circuit is that they post the tickets to you. With www.formula1.com you have to collect from a ticket booth somewhere outside the circuit which can be a total pain to find

Its his last Belgian GP as a Ferrari driver anyway, maybe as a F1 driver too

Cashel Mc

Quite possibly his last alright,
I will put up more paddock pictures tomorrow if anyone is interested.

thegoth

WOW. Great pics.

Did you buy a paddock pass ticket ?

Cashel Mc

Didn't buy a paddock pass! something like €3000 each!
Have a friend who works for FOM.
Will post pic's soon as am tired from all the walking today and driving.

thegoth

Thought you might be rich and bought one.

Wish I had a friend like that
