can anyone give info on spectating for weekend. Looking at rally passes and for weekend are €300 and only allow access to certain locations? Is this normal or what am I missing?

I was thinking was bit on the expensive side. So without the passes to these spectator areas is it easy enough to get to the stages etc. First time to Portugal so bit on the unknown. Some stuff I have read up on says that it's very tightly control for getting to and from the stages.

You’ll be only restricted if you try to go outside the spectators zones (ZE’s), which are usually in good spots and easy to reach. In a few days the info about this year ZE’s will be available in the rally site, but you can check last year Saturday and Sunday ZE’s once they’ll probably be the same (from ZE 21 forwards): https://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...bEb4t3vJ90OkCY

Gaia Street Stage will not take place due to lack of funding from the municipality.

That’s a pretty stupid thing to say. You can’t take Gaia street stage cancellation and make wild assumptions about the whole Rally. This was an isolated incident of a SSS promoter that won’t affect the overall organization or stop this year Rally de Portugal to be a success, as usual.
With the addition of the iconic Arganil stages to the North legs the rally is more challenging for crews and teams and more exciting for fans than ever before. At the end of the event no one will remember the absence of a SSS and everybody will be eager to return next year to celebrate this fantastic sport in some of the most popular and iconic rally stages of the world!Last edited by Rally Power; 10th May 2019 at 00:06.

Thats not at all a "stupid" thing to say. This is not about the petty Gaia street stage. Many things are happening behind the scenes and the decision is already made, ACP is just waiting for the end of the race for the official announcement. Why do you figure all of the sudden multiple local entities have decided to stop supporting the rally?! It is simply because they would not have an easy time explaining such big investments to have promotion for just one more year.

Stop the BS for gods sake. You’re just speculating and damaging Rally de Portugal image; that’s more than stupid, that’s preposterous.
Only Gaia pulled out; all the others partners kept their commitments towards ACP, the organizer. It’s never easy to get the proper budget for such a huge event, in Portugal or in any other WRC country, and the ACP has always managed to sort it out, no matter what. If you’re Portuguese you should know it and show some support, instead of talking rubbish.Rally addict since 1982
