Silverstone car park

[Maser Sod]

Car parking prices have in recent years gone up from 15GBP to 55GBP.

Should Silverstone consider putting tarmac down, or just blame the weather and hoard the profits. Discuss.

If it did it would need more money to pay for it and the prices would be higher.

I understand that the majority are rented to them by local land-owners.

The money they piled into the corporate part, centre of the circuit, think some could have gone to improving the parking. I was there last year, managed to get in on the Thu in the dry, rained fri sat, though nothing as bad as this year, our field got closed. Thankfully dried up for the sunday. Feel sorry for those there this year.

It's the F1 money grab in full swing. Must increase profits every year so charge more and give less.

Are you saying they charge £55 to park at Silverstone for the GP...What a Fecking rip off..............

 

[2b1ask1]

Yeah but you get a free boat trip with your £55 this year!!!

 

[Andyk]

Hehehehe.....................

So you pay over 100 for a ticket then they sting you for another £55.............I'm lost for words.......................

Don't think I would pay to get in really cheapest ticket £60, I was there yesterday and it was not that busy due to all the camp site visitors being turned away on Friday due to poor conditions. Mate nearly got stuck in the car park yesterday, today will be messy if it rains later.

What car did you take andrew??

Sounds steep.....tickets £100 and you need £55 for parking meaning along with fuel your £200 down already and thats you arriving on your tod....without a little one with you to also experience it.....

 

[Andyk]

Silly money Dem........

And yet it is a sell out. What a recession we are having; 120,000 people stumping over £100 each to watch a procession in the p!ssing rain. Madness.

 

[dem maser]

Recession is a misnomer.....merely a means by which those who control the system squeeze the lower strata of society whilst the wealthy go merrily on their way!
