Silverstone f1 assistance!!

Post by BentleyLover »

Hey, I'm looking to book Silverstone F1 weekend tickets as a birthday surprise for my husband. I went to Thomas Cook, and they said it would cost £1050 for a two-night stay, transportation to and from the track for two days and general admission tickets. Is this a fair price? Can anyone recommend other places where you can book good deals? Each spot in the stands costs between £200 and £400 more. Thanks ahead of time! I don't know anything about F1 x, so any help would be great.

Let us put it this way: my buddy purchased two tickets last year, each of which cost him £450.

As ridiculous as this may seem, it appears logical to me.

The entrance fee for all three days is £185. It makes more sense to buy on Saturday and Sunday.

The price TC has given includes two nights in a nearby hotel, which will add a couple hundred to that. So, it could be up to £600. Then add transfers, and what else does it include?

Look at http://www.silverstone.co.uk/events/201 ... rand-prix/ You'll see that if you did it yourself, you'd need about £75 for parking if you did it yourself.

I'd get Club Silverstone for £535 and book your own accommodations. But hurry, because many places are already full.

Thank you! Guessing that the next query is whether upgrading from general admission is truly worth an additional £400 for both of us,

If you're already spending more than £2,000, why ruin the experience for an extra 25%?

Or, to put it another way, if you get there and think a seat would be better, you'll have to go back in 2020 to change your mind.

Amos is right; I believe the price you have given is fair, and you may even be able to undercut it by a few pounds.Good luck if you do, but when I looked for a hotel nearby for the F1 race, it was 14 miles distant and was costing £185 per night.

Oh no, I'm apologetic! £1050 total, not per unit

Yes, I knew that. I still think it's a good deal, though. Enjoy it and don't worry too much about getting it for much less.
