OK so what you are saying is that for an event like SBK at Donington which might pull in perhaps 30000 paying spectators over the three days. Used to be a massive amount more under Flammini.
An event that hosts 1200 a day makes more money?
I think a hell of lot of people would find that hard to believe.
A SBK ticket would cost perhaps 40 quid with perhaps 25 on a qually day and 15 on Friday practice, don't know haven't been for years.
A thundersports race day ticket, maybe 20? a tenner on all other days?
Please enlighten us on where that vast amount of money goes? Can't all be hosting fees. Yes staff wages but the stalls all pay a plot fee, more income, you have camping at these events that you charge for, more income.
We have been told that Silverstone struggles to make money. And that the crowd figures there for 3 days are well in excess of 150000. All paying upwards of 100 quid a ticket. That's 15 million in gate receipts very roughly could be a few mill more or less. You can see why they struggle when they get no other income and the hosting fee is probably a large percentage of that.
Minuses, obviously a decent program costs a bit to print, more security. Lighting in camping areas. Electric, cleaners, water. First aid. Timekeepers.
