Id love to go but have not got tickets....are they available??

Went years ago and would love to go again but good ticket prices are just silly money....It would cost arouns £240 for me and Dan to go and have a seat......Stupid money......If I was paying that much I would take in one in Europe and make a holiday of it...Shame as the greed of Bernie has priced tickets away from lots of fans....

To put in perspective when me and Dan went to the Italian Superstars series at Donington a month again it cost £24 for both to get in and they threw in a grid walk....He also got to sit in the Maserati QP racer and have his picture taken with Johnny Herbert...........Now that makes the F1 look a rip off......

Off to the BTTC in September as well...£28 for both of us to go again.......I love F1 but they take the p!ss on ticket prices...

I went last year, general admission for three days. Also went to Monza, grand stand seat on parabolica, was a lot cheaper than Silverstone, also the infra structure etc. was so much better, free buses from station to track etc.

I went to Monza a year after I went Silverstone.....Had a seat on the Parabolica as well......Much better experience than Silverstone.........

The last British GP I went to was in 1988 and it rained non-stop for 24 hours. I don't think I've ever been so cold, or grateful to get back into a warm Alfa. Senna won.

European GPs are too dear. Go to the Malaysian, even with flights it's cheaper - and the food is exceptional, rather than excremental.

I am lucky as I am going with a friend who is one of the course doctors in the safety car, don't think I would pay to go anymore as its just too busy and expensive, at least I will be inside the circuit where it will be a bit quieter.....still may need some ear plugs, only problem is we have to get there at 6.00am and won't leave until 6.30, going to be a long day.....not that I'm complaining

Was hoping to get into the paddock but don't think it will be possible it's like a fortress, easier to get into a military base.

TBH, I can't be bothered watching it on tv never mind paying hundreds to see even less. Bernie has killed it for me.

Did not make it into the paddock I'm afraid, obviously not as well connected as you, maybe you can get me in next year even if it costs me a pair of jimmy choos!!!!
