Gold Race day 0830-1700 |
This is the Race Day ticket (Sunday apart from Assen and Qatar where is it Saturday). This is always the most manic day of the weekend of course. GET THERE EARLY. Sign up for tours. Have a quick breakfast. Review the programme. You want to get a Paddock tour early- 30 mins before the MotoGP warmup is the best time to see the riders make their way to the pits. Don't miss the pit lane walk (usually about 1030): the MotoGP bikes are cooling off in the pits and the paddock girls will be handing out posters and other goodies (yes, they like to be photographed with you!)
The rest of the day is about the races so find a good spot to see them from - some people like outdoors; some stay in the pavilion. Your ticket gives you access to most of the track, perhaps watch the 125 from the back curves, and then return to the VIP enclosure for lunch and watch the 250. Lunch at 12.30 but it goes a while, so you can be flexible. The MotoGP is usually at 1400 - most circuits give you a spot near the start grid - BE THERE! The start of a MotoGP is an indescribable experience. We will give you earplugs if you need. After the race, work your way through the cocktail menu, sweets and petit fours as you discuss the result with your new friends. if you are on a package with us, we will collect you at the closing of the Village, or we can organise a taxi for you. |
Gold only €520 / £350 |
Silver Qualifying day 0830-1700 |
You can purchase race day on its own (Gold) but we strongly recommend you get the 2-day (Gold & Silver) passes. Qualifying day (usually Saturday) is the best day to get 'behind the scenes' and really get to know the track, the paddock, scope the vest viewing,and generally see things when the crowds are lighter.
Get on several paddock tours if you can (see note above for timing); and of course service road tours are a must if available at the circuit. Pick a time when the bikes are on the track. Pit Lane walk is about lunchtime (hint, leave it a little early, otherwise you will hit queues for the buffet!) This is a good day for going walkabout. Get to know the track from different points - see the lines the racers take so you can anticipate the action points when you are watching the race. A good day to hit the shops as well, before all the good merchandise is sold out! (We usually have some extras of our event polo shirts and caps for sale) |
Gold/Silver €680 / £460 |
Buying from us: You can buy VIP Village tickets from many sources (actually not, there are only a very few authorised agents); but only we commit to BEING THERE.
This means a lot in practice - we are there is you have questions or need advice. We know you may not be a MotoGP expert - so we can explain how it all works, what the qualifying thingy is all about, the flags, when is a man 'offside', and other arcane lore.
For events that we have significant presence (in 2007 certainly Brno, Laguna Seca, Donington, San Marino and possibly Valencia) we will have a private VIP Village area which means we can add yet more value to your experience. We usually bring in a guest speaker, have our own materials, books, posters, contests, hostesses, and anything else we think of... Great fun!
If you are a package customer (which of course we recommend to get the full experience) we deliver tickets to your hotel along with your other packaged goods. Otherwise we will courier tickets to you; or if you are a high flyer and won't be convenient to UPS, we can deliver them to you personally at the track.
