Are they taking the mickey with the ticket prices for this event? Last year the CSMA offered a cheap deal (around the £60 mark if I remember) but, as they aren't attending this year I've checked the prices.
Saturday & Sunday tickets cost £80 PLUS £6.40 booking fee PLUS £2.06 transaction fee = £88.46! I only want to watch the racing - I'm not interested in the various car clubs, displays, music, fun fairs, etc so, having pre-booked a hotel months ago, this may be my last year attending having been for most years dating back to the Coys Festival time.
I don't know what they charge competitors to enter the event, but the casual spectator is being slowly priced out of attending. For the same price I'll have got tickets for Donington Historic Festival in May and Masters in October plus the three day World Endurance Cars event at Silverstone in August.
