Tickets for MotoGP Rossi Stand?

[PageyUK]

Hi,
Big birthday for the Mrs this year and I'd like to take her to watch Moto GP at Silverstone. She's a massive Rossi fan, so I'd like to get a weekend ticket in the Rossi Stand.

Where is the best place to get the tickets? Are they out/released yet? Is there a particular stand set aside for the Valentino Rossi fans? Any additional advice?

Thanks in advance.

Go to Assen, Silverstone is not that good for Bike spectating.

Nah go to Misano if she is a Rossi fan & take her to Tavullia in the evening

Get her membership of the Rossi fan club, you get a few bits and pieces. Yes, I'm in the Rossi fan club.

Every stand is a rossi stand.

To answer your question about tickets for the Rossi stand I would try looking on the MCN website or ring silverstone ticket office directly.

I am sure Fleegle and his good lady have been, if he has he will be able to give you all the answers you need, you may have to wait a while because of his need of "nana naps".

Get your Mrs the rossi club membership too, it's well worth it and she will be smiling for weeks.

I'm awake and my carer has changed me and cleaned me up.

I think the Rossi stand was Copse this year but to be honest there was yellow everywhere. We headed for Becketts this year and was really pleased with the seats we got. Our stand was a mixture of 46 and 93 fans. There was also a sad lonely looking bloke sat in the corner waving a 99 flag. He smelt of poo though so everyone ignored him

It's a great circuit & a must do (a ballache to get out of at the end of the day though, you'll go nowhere for about 4 hours), but Misano is his home GP & you've got the mad fandom at Tavullia.

[lucido grigio]

Agree .I went to Mugello last year and the traffic on the road outside was stationary for hours after the finish .

When I eventually decided to join in with the queue ,which I mistakenly thought had gone ,it still took about 2 hours to get

to the Bologna /Florence autostrada.

I also went to Misano 2008 and 2010 ,traffic after was slow but nothing compared to Mugello slowness.

I went to Tavullia last year, it was OK, not something you could do for a whole day though.

It's the perfect thing to do in the evening between qualifying & race day.

Uhh.. Yea... Why, what am I missing?

[PageyUK]

OK, so if I considered Mugello or Misano, what sort of money are we talking?

I'd like to do a weekend (Fri-Sun/Mon) so for those that have been did you design a package yourself or go with an operator who does everything for you? Trying to get an idea of prices and who to book with if anyone could help?

Providing it's within budget, I'll go with it. Unfortunately her birthday is early Jan so i need to get my skates on...

Appreciate replies and sorry for delay, didn't know anyone had replied to this as old email address was on account to notify me.

There are a few Rossi obsessed haters on here, I am not one of them though
Looks like you managed to get away with the "fanboi" "football fan" bks though.
Hope you have a fantastic time and I'm sure you'll love it, be great to experience before he calls it a day.

Did Misano this year. Have done Barcelona and Valencia a couple of times. Always book everything ourselves. Find nearest airport - book flights. Book MotoGP tickets, off either MotoGP.com, or just off the web. Book hotel, although the last 2 years we've just used AirBnB Can design your own package that way. For Misano we stayed in Rimini and drove to the circuit in a hire car. Get there early 8:30ish and you can park within a few hundred meters on the gate. Invade the track at the end, hang around for an hour or so and then leave. Traffic is OK. Chose Misano as it was one of the last times to see Rossi at his home grand prix. tt broke his leg! Went to Tuvilia on the Saturday evening - still hundreds of Rossi supporters there and people queuing to get into the Rossi Fan Club.

For Barcelona we used public transport - not recommended- takes ages and involves a walk from station to coach.
For Valencia we hired scooters for the weekend. Bloody brilliant going to the circuit on 2 wheels, but for 3 of us its expensive compared to a hire car.

Next year looking at Jerez or Brno.

Anywhere but Silverstone, its an airfield and is a really poor place to generate any atmosphere.

Motogp.com still aren't listing tickets for sale, it just says "Tickets available soon". Is there anywhere else to get them from that people have used before?

I've done some reading of reviews (mainly on Trip Advisor) and it seems Mugello is the one more people favor/recommend apart from the hassle of getting to and away from the circuit.

I've made a decision to take my daughter with us, she will be a few days under 2 years old.... Is this an awful idea or anyone else done it with a similar aged child?

Best to stay in Florence?
