1550nok if you want a physical pass 1250 for e-ticket, that's crazy with the itinerary this year.
The same with spectating: to drive from Stockholm - too long, to fly or train - too complicate on the place; roads are far far away from Varmlads and Nor border roller coasters. At the same time, just 2h drive from Stockholm, near Gavle is real winter wonderland this year. Umea has no USPs.
Do you need to buy the rally passes well in advance or can you purchase in petrol stations etc just before the rally, like Finland?
Strange the physical passes are so much more expensive
Seems like only e-ticket from today onwards, nothing at Coop this year.
You can still get the physical pass but they won't send by mail anymore, you order online and then pick it up at Rally HQ at Umeć Service Park Nolia it says on their FB.
I'Il just get an e-ticket and make myself a fake pass as a souvenir, i save all my passes.
One problem is expensive rental cars, i don't know what people have been able to get but I don't dare driving a 2WD up there at least.
The Audi A4 quattro I've had the last two years was now 13.000kr, in 22 i was 6000kr. Saw a Volvo XC60 at 7000kr
Flight from Oslo-Stockholm-Umeć 3500kr.
So I'm driving 10-11 hours starting on Monday night, so had to take next Monday off also, 5 days off work.
(100 euro = 1135kr)
You have to be creative: fly or take a train to, e.g., Luleć or Sundsvall, take a car there, 3:20 drive and you are in Umeć. I am sure that as these cities are not close to rally, prices have more sense.
So this year there wont be possibility to buy rally-pass at the gas stations or Umea service park? So i wont be able to attend stages if I want to pay in cash? Meanwhile they prefer ONLY cash for the parking? Confusing.
And I have to agree, price this year is really high...
EDIT: And how will they check those e-tickets at the stages? With scanners? I can imagine how long this process will take, for everyone to take out the mobile phone, find a wallet, open the file, scan it ... I think it that will undoubtedly create jams at stage entrencies.
