Wiggins hour record

[whatleytom]

Was intending to watch Dowsett's attempt before it was changed, so as Wiggins tickets went on sale this morning I though I'd grab a pair.

Should be good to watch, also intrigued as I've never been in a velodrome.

Anyone else get tickets?

I was gutted - I'm away that weekend.

£50 each though - ouch.

Would love to have gone though!

I got some - looking forward to it.

I ended up going for Silver which were *only* £39 each so not too bad.

I didn't fancy the price of tickets. I'll watch it live on Sky instead.

When is it on please ?

[whatleytom]

June 7th, should be a good weekend of cycling. Nocturne in the city the night before.

What do spectators do at these events?

Obviously you cheer at the start and the end. But the middle 40 minutes or so?

So expensive compared with anything else at the velodrome. Amazing place though, went to a world cup event last year and great views from everywhere.
Good luck Wiggo but too expensive for me

Incorrect.

What do people do? They get drunk and then watch a world record be set! Or that's what I'll be doing.

[SydneyBridge]

Reportedly sold out in 7 mins then...

If you go on to google it states "Sold out in Seven Mins"....why incorrect okgo?

....opps great minds think alike Sydney!

Because the link was flying around on Thursday night. Apparently only for sky customers and rapha cc members, but I bought tickets through that link despite neither being a customer or member. A LOT of tickets will have been sold the night before via that link.

[SydneyBridge]

Yeah fair enough, I could have got them 2 days early as a sky customer
