Help my mummy! - Australian GP tickets...

ECW Dan Selby · 27 Jan 2017, 10:52 (Ref:3705522)

Hi guys,

Have a mum in distress! She wants to go to Australia to see the GP. Unfortunately, she's not too sure where she'll be staying at various points when she goes there (end of Feb). This is causing a huge issue in regards to where exactly to get her tickets sent to.

Most sites aren't releasing tickets for a good few weeks yet, meaning chances are, she'll be in Aus by the time they're released. I can't seem to find any sites where you can arrange to pick up your ticket from the circuit itself, which is absolutely bizarre!

Does anyone know of any site where you can arrange to pick up your ticket on the day from the box office?

Thank you!

Selby

does the official site not allow you to collect?

lol stupid question bella, obviously not

is she after general admission or something more specific?

**bella** · 27 Jan 2017, 11:12 (Ref:3705527)

right, just had a look at the official website (grandprix.com.au) and gone through a transaction on there - where it says delivery method, if you click australia or other countries you get an option for airmail, outlet pickup and venue pickup. that should work ok for her?

ps. i'm going too, very excited

what sort of ticket is she after. general admission will be available at the gate and also will send you the tickets to your email address

grand stand tickets also have the print option. pick up at the venue is also available

All the best!
The best GA spot to stand as well is on the grassy hill on the exit of turn 2. Get there reasonably early Sunday (9-11am will be fine) and you'll get a good spot. There's a video screen directly opposite, and you can see turn one, and as they accelerate out of T2 and through the second DRS point.

The banks around Turn 9 are pretty good also.Try a few spots before Sunday then pick your favourite.

Big fan of the bank around turn 9.

And if you fail those two, the banks at T11 are also decent and should have a screen. However while the cars are flying through there at wicked speeds (and even better this year), they do tend to harvest through there so you get no sound. Very odd, especially after working T11/12 five times since '95 and hearing them power down the back straight and then power out of T12.

Can't even move to Uruguay due to be very short of cash...
