fair point...i was thinking more for the luxury boxes/hospitality area spectators who i believe pay FOM directly for the privilege of premium seating.
any benefits and increased price to those sitting on the main grandstand would be a way to help the local promoter offset the huge sanctioning fees.
wasnt very clear on that....was too busy ranting! sorry.
but yeah regardless, your point stands...how much does FOM really care about those who attend live.
