Ticket Prices Motorfest 2007

[R3ROK]

Just a couple of questions with regards to the ticket pricing for Motorfest 2007. I know the season ticket does not cover for this event but I wanted to know as my son is 14 will he need an adult ticket or does he still qualify for a child ticket? Also, I was thinking about buying the tickets on the day and can't find out if there is much difference (if any) in price over pre-booking them. I might have left it a bit late pre-booking as it only leaves 5 working days if I order them on Monday...Any advice would be appreciated.


By the Way.....Confirmed by Dominic at BRSCC just in case you didn't know...
''Your pass does however get you into the British F3/GT season finale on 29/30th September, which is our last Rockingham meeting of the year''

....and can't find out

not surprising. woefully inadequate information. the full page advert in motorsport news mentions advance tickets but doesn't say if there's a discount or what age a child is. it also doesn't say that advanced tickets give reserved seating(at least that's what it says on the incarace website).

the motorfest website might have been a good source of information except THE LINKS AREN'T WORKING!!!!

Exactly! I did try ringing the ticket hotline but not open on Sunday's...looks like I will have to ring them Monday. I'm not sure if I should risk getting them posted.....Rockingham used to offer the service where you could pre-book and pick up the tickets from the office on the day...which was good if you left it late booking them. Not sure if that's still possible? Still need to remember to ask about the child age cut-off.

I'm still yet to beat the organisers into submission for a media pass. :mad:

As it stands, it looks like I may well end up not being there. :(

The Motorfest website is working fine and most of the information you seem to be looking for is there:

http://www.motorfest.co.uk/book.htm

Box office is open regular office hours (as you would expect), no mention of what age classifies as a child though :\

JD, You are correct about the website. It was only the links at the bottom of the page that don't work....the links in BOLD RED in each main window work..Doh!! OK, back to the ticket fiasco....this is the situation now I have spoken to the ticket office (0121) 357 7328

1) Child age range is from 5 - 15 (Under 5's go free) My lad is 14 so £10 for him on Sunday or £7 on Saturday.

2) You can't pre-book the tickets any more...only buy them on the day at the same price as the pre-booked tickets..at least they got something right ;) At least I can decide on Saturday night if I want to go or not :)

I assume family tickets are the same as the website states...

And I fully expect that us marshal types will be issued with just one ticket also; we normally get a guest ticket (this is true from the F1 at Silverstone, to the Champ Car I did in Holland, down to a 750 Motorclub event at Mallory).

[Nick Brad]

I've not really thought about it until now, but I hope the team pass is still valid otherwise I'm going to have to drag up some more money that I really hadn't budgeted for.....

[racing59]

Nick,

Our Team Passes won't be used - they are going to issue us with their own passes. It sucks, but that's there way of doing it. It's their meeting. We play by their rules. I'm still waiting for answers on passes. It's Tuesday tomorrow.
It's dark. I'm not wearing sunglasses.....

Rob.

[Reynard]

The folks issuing passes haven't replied to my e-mails or returned my phone calls and I'm starting to get rather peeved...

Unfortunately you won't have the best seats for the short oval stuff as last year the bottom level seating in the Rock building was advanced tickets only (even though it was 80% empty), and as the site states advanced tickets get reserved seating I suspect the same will be in place this year.

[LessThanSte]

Does anyone actually sit on those bottom seating rows?

[Nick Brad]

Nope, much prefer the scaffolding up the top of the grandstand. :p
I think the only time I've ever used those seats was way back when I thought that the commentary said that all racing was done for the day due to the rain still coming down, I went to the coast instead and arrived home to read that a race did indeed take place and Witty had decided to take up lobster impressions. :laugh:
Can't remember if the was 03 or 04 now.

Oh you horror! :laugh: Think that might have been June '03....

[Nick Brad]

That'd be the one 'cos it was roughly around my birthday. i wonder if anyone has any pics, purely for nostalgic purposes of course. :p ;)

[Reynard]

I seem to recall that SteveA got a dastardly pics of me scuttling to a cut-out in Turn 1... I'm sure he'll dig it out for nostalgia's sake! ;-)

I'd never sat there till last years Ovalfest, and never sat there since, but its definitely the place to be for the short oval races.

[Tiesse]

Witty, just out of interest, if you paid to get in rather than have a media pass, would that restrict you in any way for publishing any photos you may take of the event from public areas?

I understand that you own the copyright to your photos, but I am curious whether Incarace have any control over published images of their event.

[Tiesse]

We sat there for the motorcycle freestyle jumping at the stuntshow & it was great for that as we were level with the bikes when they jumped. The kids loved it.

We also sat there for a couple of the Ovalfest races, (which is curious going by a previous post as I bought the tickets on the day & had no worries getting in there) it definately gives you better close up view for the short circuit stuff - even if one of then was the last farcical race of the event!

Yeah, on the saturday you could sit there, but the sunday was advanced tickets only IIRC

[madphotog]

In answer to Tiesse, copyright is owned by the the photographer as you rightly said and Incarace have no control over what gets published where and when. Come down to Team Networking and say hello as you missed out last time. We are obviously there on both days but I may be somewhere else taking photographs for the local paper by Earwig and of course Braveheart should be around as well as two of my pretty ones on both days.

Yes it would - anything from public areas is (unless working a media pass) is for personal consumption only. I can share them between friends but not sell them. Not sure how that would affect any printed matter though. Also, not having a media pass would not allow me access to the fencline, pit lane, garages...

Not as far as I know - in the UK we're pretty lenient on this - the one exception is Superbikes I believe. Now NASCAR own the copyright of anything that a photographer shoots.

I *finally* managed to get through on the phone yesterday, but guess what - my call wasn't returned. I reckon that's pretty rude.

Is there no way to get your pass via normal BRSCC route(s) for SCSA/PuT's as normal? A call to Sonny Howard or Drew Furlong might help?

If the Incarace people don't want to play, that's their loss methinks. . I assume you've contacted Smiffyman or maybe shortcircuit for advice/contact numbers?

[Reynard]

I've tried the BRSCC, but no reply, Smiffyman is in Canada and I'm about to try the PuT folks in desperation.

You don't happen to have a contact number / e-mail for Drew by any chance, Simon? PM me if you do.

Thanks for the invite, unfortunately I have to work this weekend, so can't come down. If that's not enough, I also can't come to the GT meeting (it is Ryan's 7th birthday on Sat 29th & we are having a go kart party for him & I am going to the O2 arena on the Sunday to see some NHL ice hockey). The season is over for me!! Gutted.

Ryan is going to be dragging my wife along on the 30th, I'll try to persuade her to come & say hello!

Ryan shall probably be wearing his blue Duncan Grey hat & I'll tell her to pop over to get it signed.

I think I'll sign off with two words to describe this season for me "BLOODY RAIN!"

Regards

Tony

Witty,

I have sent you a PM.

[Reynard]

Thanks folks, crisis averted. Will be there along with my cameras. :)

All the hoop jumping has improved my fitness somewhat... :eek:

Have any marshals had their passes yet?
