Anyone on here going to chance the pre pay ticket system again this year after last years fuck up?
I presume its been totally sorted as it couldn't possably be aloud happen again.
Our order last year was for 10 full passes (was a large credit card bill!) and we got our tickets finally at about 11.30 on the friday night after waiting since 3pm. I eventually talked my way into the main building where there was around 10,000 mixed up tickets on the floor (no exaggeration) and where one of the girls heard how big our order was she went off and looked and looked and eventually found them. she said it was one of the biggest orders and thats the only reason we got them.
There was people from New Zealand and places who had pre paid and were still ticketless that night!
This year we will be ordering 23 full passes!!!!!!!!!!
Anyone heard anything about this?
i think network Q are nothing to do with ticket sales this year?

TBH Brian whilst I respect peeps who are persevering with trying to go and watch WRC in person I've given up on it as a spectator sport. I used to go and watch it most years but now i just cant be arsed with all the crowds and stuff. I spose I'm just getting an old fart but I remember the early days (Roger Clarke and co) when you could get close to the stars and cars and action. Was watching a video the other day when a young Ari Vaatanen broke down in his Escort and the mechanics flagged down a passing Capri and asked for his rear axle which he agreed to lmao!

Good luck - hopefully they can get the job sorted a bit better this year

i paid for a ticket 2 yeats ago (obv pay at entry) for Rheloa, was cracking good fun but a bit cold and wet lol.

got free passes to the service area at felindre (uni :wink: ) but still couldnt be arsed to go inot any stages.

i think its better to watch it on eurosport and C4 as you get to see loads lol. but then again you cant beat the sound of antilag in a valley :lol:
