Hi Guys,

Hoping you can help me out - a friend of mine is in Spain as we speak and is planning on extending his holiday to watch the Grand Prix at the weekend. He doesn't have tickets though and is struggling to get hold of them from anywhere.

Does anyone know of an online shop where they can be bought and picked up in Valencia? Obviously, anyone that sends them to his home address is no use so could do with something local.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance...

I imagine there will probably be a few for sale given his German-ness isn't racing any more...

... nor Renault and therefore Alonso; unless they win their appeal today!

Well, surprise surprise ! they did.
Went last year and the race was a bit of a yawn, nice setting though.
I could imagine that even though the organisers have reduced the number of grandstand seats on offer (more freeloaders and less demand combined ? ) I wouldn't be surprised if you could buy a ticket on Fri or Sat at the gate, either officially or via Manuel El Tout.
Alternatively why not try ringing a few door bells on the blocks of flats overlooking the start finish straight and offer them a suitable wad of Euros to join them for a better view from their 10th floor terrace than any of the grandstands have, worth a go ?

You could get him to try motor racing international in Kent, they used to do just tickets if i recall, plus they will be doing a trip so could possible arrange delivery.

I've used them for Le Mans and Italy GP, brilliant outfit, cannot recommend them highly enough.
