This would mean that they have sold 85000 tickets in the 2 weeks since Shane Howard's press conference at Homebush after only selling 44000 in the previous 5 months (around 20000 of which were sold in the first 2 weeks of sale).These figures are beyond rubbery and will not stand up to any scrutiny by non News Ltd/Channel 7 media.I think the organisers are trying to panic people into buying tickets by putting out stuff about how big the ticket sales are.A good example of this is the big headline on the event web site saying that Silver Stand tickets have limited availability.Given that there were only about 600 Silver Stand seats to begin with this is hardly an achievment.

Quite common also for sporting event tickets to have a major sales spike in the lead up to the event. |

Can't be anything over 10,000 looking at the size of the stands. Each stand on back of the circuit (between corners 4 & 5) would not hold anything more than 100 people. The Daily Telegraph in yesterdays paper suggested organisers were expecting a crowd of 200,000. |

I know that I only bought my tickets in the last few weeks. Since I wasn't going corporate this year, I decided to wait until after pay day to get the tickets (no use them sitting at home for months while I pay interest on my credit card). But with all this talk of ticket sales, I wonder if there is anyone who could give us the total 3 day crowds for events at Eastern Creek. Like the VIP Grand Finale's and the 2nd to last round? Indeed what was the Crowd figure for the NRMA Grand Finale last year at Oran Park? Either way this has been promoted better then the last EC event. Which has such a Cherry position in the Sydney Sporting Calender, it was the NRL pre-season weekend (no trials allowed one week before the season) and just after the Charity shield. The AFL wasn't even close to kicking off. It had the Sydney sporting landscape to itself and failed to capitalise. |

Peppercorn rent at a little under $700,000.00 is an interesting perspective. |

Further to that D.R.T are you suggesting that the entire $30 Million (Over 6 years) that the State Government is pitching in is going to advertising and Advertising this year?
So that would mean that the costs of all the Public Transport (the Olympic Class Event Buses and Trains) were not being met by the government? Are you saying this is the first place the budget will blow out, the Major event transport? The Government payed nothing for the stands, or the road works, or putting the circuit up, their entire 6 year budget was blown on this one event's advertising? I mean I know they have had Banner Flags on the City's light polls for a few weeks but I didn't realise they were about 10 grand per pole. No wonder the state is in so much debt, what with those banners changing every few weeks. Did Wicked get a $30 Million grant to put their banners flags up? What about the QVB, or the Wallabies, The Socceroos, or the NRL Grand Final? all of which had these Banner Flags. I don't know how close anyone is to the ARDC on here, I really don't and hey I would love to see the V8's race at EC and Homebush if I am being Honest, I would love for EC to get more than $90m in funding to knock down Corporate hill, along with moving the Pits to the outside of the track and putting in much more seating along the straight and the turns leading on to it. Turing EC into a track that everyone can see a very large portion of the racing from. I did find the Numbers for the 2007 Round at EC via a 2008 press release on V8X. It was less than 30,000 people, now if that is not true, I would love to see it the actual numbers. But I have a feeling that the 2008 race last year would have been even less than that, considering I though the EC crowd for the 2007 race was the biggest I had ever seen for the V8Supercars and that for 2008, the Marquees on the roof of the Pit Building were not there, indeed that is where I watched the Sundays Racing. the Same place I have watch a lot of racing at EC. But in 2007 those areas were use for Corporate Marquees. IIRC the corporate Marquees had been encroaching on that area since 2003 or so. If the less than 30,000 is correct for 2007, then even on Sundays ticket sales at the time of the Stateline article, this event will beat out EC, in its first year? |

Mark, when the event was confirmed this time last year it was discussed that the government would provide $30 million for 2009 plus $2-3 million each year for 5 years to assist with the event set up. It was also said that the Government would not be putting a cap on their input as it wasn't neccessary. Then Ian McDonald announced a few weeks ago that the event would be capped however the terms of this deal can not be proven due to a confidentiality agreement with V8SA. So forgive me for not taking him at his word. |
