I suppose the other comparisons you make that are yearly events are valid, but stuff like Olympics are once in a lifetime things, so not at all useful as a comparison.
A premier league football fixture is 40 odd times a year, these meetings are one offs so not a fair comparison. And you can get big discounts by buying season tickets etc, am sure you do the same with Goodwood events? But you can attend a one off Premier League game for less than 30 quid at some clubs if you want to, or pay upwards of hundreds, depending what experience you want.
My Dad and his sister go to Chelsea, am staggered at home much that costs!! But some events you might think are dear are ok like Open Golf, you can often attend Monday and Sunday test matches for less than 20 quid.
All this racing stuff is fixed, and for things like Sill Stone you are paying a premium for things you might not be interested in like bands.
All a choice clearly but would be nice of the pricing was a bit more optional for some events.
