Ah, good to hear the tickets are arriving, mine haven't arrived just yet.
My OH has bought me 2 x 3 day Platinum camping tickets seated in Club as a birthday surprise, to say I can't wait is putting it mildly.

Looks like the podium is within sight of where I'm seated, I'll even get to see Vettel on the podium........

Mine tickets for Club arrived too.

Had a thing saying I had a recorded delivery letter to pick up from the PO. Couldn't for the life of me think what it could be. Was very pleased when I opened the envelope.

Whereabouts in Club are you two? I'm trying to think how big the stand might be, and where I'm sitting.

I'm in seats K206. Surely there can't be many more than 200 seats in a row? (I'm hoping I'm nearer the Pit straight end of the stand)

Is there a stand diagram somewhere?

Still waiting for mine.

I ordered through the Silverstone site itself.

We are in for the park and ride option (race day only) anyone got their tickets for that as yet?

Cheers Benny, that's good news.

It looks like the stand is quite curved, so the lower numbers may not see the pit straight at all.
I didn't ask for a particular end as I ordered online, but was hoping I'd be at the pit straight end. Looks like I've been lucky. smile

Aren't most campsites open as early as Wednesday (or before in some cases)? I'm at Whittlebury from Thursday afternoon.

Got myself a couple of 3 dayers for the new Club also. I asked to be nearer the old Club stands in the hope of seeing from Stowe all the way round and down the straight.

I picked mine up today, too. I'm as happy as a tick on a fat dog!!

Now I must remember where I put them...

Ours arrived last week, we'll be in E256/257 Club.

I'm guessing, based on the assumption that they are numbered from left to right I'll be near the end of the grandstand, somewhere on the "N" or "E", pretty happy with that if that's the case. Good view of them coming from Stowe into Vale, Club and then down the straight, also opposite the podium.

*Pic taken a couple of weeks ago during construction of the club grandstand, I guess it'll be covered by now*

I'll be flying a PH flag from the tent so come say hello wink

Would be handy to know where you're pitching it, dear boy smile I imagine there'll be a few tents in the area, that weekend.

I'm Lakeside@Whittlebury and always happy to drop in on fellow PH's for a natter.

Thanks for that picture. smile

I'm assuming I'll be somewhere near the 'O' which I'm more than happy with.
