Tickets normally go onsale soon for next year's race, who'll be in the clamour?

Anyone know if the cynical "dynamic pricing" is to be inflicted on us again? The Mrs will try for tickets but if it's like last year's stupidity we'll be attending elsewhere!

Attendance looks poor on the telly for the days events so far. We had trouble simply getting into a grandstand for the F2 last year.

I’m pretty sure it’s sold out but the attendance figures F1 love to throw out are bullst. A huge number of tickets will be weekend-long so a lot of people will be triple counted in that number

Nope. Far too expensive and crowded for me, Austria tickets purchased.

It's too expensive for most fans which is annoying.

But they'll sell out again anyway, there are enough people that are prepared to pay 'whatever' to go.

Asking who will go seems pointless. We know full well that another 400k will go next year regardless.

None of us would price tickets diffently if we had to operate the circuit as a business. It is, what it is.

That's a far better solution. Vote with your wallet and your actions and take advantage of the many far cheaper GP's in Europe that are also typically more pleasant in many ways! And you get the option of bolting a few nights holiday on too..

Indeed. Got Belgium in a couple of weeks with my lad, proper road trip stuff.
Austria will be the same next year, 150E GA, son is free (14).

Have done Silverstone last 2 years, but the hike in ticket prices made me bork. Would rather spend the cash going on a decent trip somewhere new.
