I shall resign myself to buying a muggle ticket.
The good people of Silverstone have sent me a reminder to book at the price increases on Thursday.

Just looked at the 'early bird' price - £105 for one person for the 3-day ticket (you can't even save by only going on 2 days as Sat and Sunday day tickets comes to £120)

I don't mind paying to attend events but that's just taking the Michael.

At that price I'm going to wait until the week before and see what the weather is doing.
That’s £35 / day which seems pretty good value to be honest, and if you use the discount code above that means £52.50 per person for the whole weekend! Not sure where you could get better value really?

Discount is just for people showing cars.

Perhaps I've just forgotten the price of big events after a year of none of them happening.

As long as Hill is still bossing the track and I can get a pint of Fosters for under £3 we’re golden wink

Ok, so I've run the numbers for Saturday and it comes to £81 which is £10 more than the normal gate price. What part of the infield will does PH have as a matter of interest?

They've changed the website in the past week so our link above was just going to general admission tickets – follow this new link for car club packages. That'll get you infield parking and two adult tickets for £81 – compared to £71 each for general admission.

We were outside the cafe behind the national pits in 2019 when we took it over as the Pie & Piston, although that's unlikely to happen this year so we may get moved elsewhere.

Cheers Ben, I've added the car to the attendance list... got stung an extra £7.50 handling charge, might have not ticked or unticked something though.

Hi Ben, are we allowed to change cars? They'd still be eligible, but not sure what one to bring or if I'll have the nominated one to begin with!

There's a "change details" or something like that section on the booking site. I had to use it a few years back and it was (reasonably) seamless. It's worth doing as occasionally you'll get a jobsworth on the gate who'll actually check your reg on the pass.

https://theclassic.silverstone.co.uk/vehicle-regis...

"The cut-off for any changes is 31st May 2021."

A few years back my car was due to be on the Mike Brewer stage, that meant taking it from our parking area to the stage area. As my pass was for zone whatever the steward wouldn't let me drive it to the stage area despite there being a photograph of my car in the program saying when it would be on the stage. Luckily a Mike's wife loaned me their vendor's car pass from their regalia stand and because the colour of the pass was right (even though I clearly wasn't a vendor) that was fine!

Beware the Jobsworth!

Hi Ben,
Would a GR Yaris be eligible? Looking forward to this, great event.
