I suppose in fairness we don't know how much of the unacceptable ticket price, is down to Silverstone or IMG. If its down to what IMG are charging for new contracts, and Silverstone added the Festival to try to add value to what they would have to charge anyway. Or if Silverstone have inflated the cost to try to pay for the Festival. Or if they have just looked at Festival Ticket prices and said lets try to get away with that! We don't know what Lydden would of had to charge this year. Many French Fans think Loheac prices are too high, and they did warn fans last year or the year before that they would have to put prices up. But they were talking 10euro increases, not double. The cost of attending Belgium seems to steadily rise too.

The sad thing is, that if Silverstone had matched or bettered last years Lydden prices, they could of no doubt attracted the "Crowd" Lydden had. Now we know Silverstone is pretty much only geared up to providing Grandstands with 2500 to 3000 seats and haven't sold that number of advance tickets yet, despite promoting "Speedmachine" to the largest Rallycross Crowd of all, at Loheac.

Now they have added Run to the Beat to Speedmachine with the following prices!
