The Rumble Strip 0 Report post Posted September 11, 2008 Perhaps Silverstone have not released them to F1 yet but I'm pretty sure that you can buy them direct. In fact, I even recall reading an article saying how well sales were going. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Boily 0 Report post Posted September 12, 2008 I bought tickets for both the 06 & 07 Indy races and they were the same price as the other , all three day for 150 bucks tho I will say buying from the track I was able to talk with someone who worked at the track and got better seats then if I had gone through the F1 site but if price is the issue they were both priced the same . Try giving the track a call on the phone you may have better luck that way . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kati 0 Report post Posted May 25, 2009 Ok, anyone knows a not so expensive hotel around? Remember I can't drive so I must use public ways of transport (also known as bus/train) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Rumble Strip 0 Report post Posted May 25, 2009 Hotels anywhere near the circuit do bump their prices up so much that I base myself in Warwick. Silverstone do operate a park and ride scheme. Details of which are on the website so it could be that some of the hotels near there are a little bit cheaper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure what the public transport is like around there, but there is a Premier Travel Inn http://www.premierinn.com/pti/home.do and Travelodge http://www.travelodge.co.uk/ within walking distance of the circuit. Nearest big towns are Milton Keynes, Buckingham, Banbury and Northampton. You could try Tripadvisor www.tripadvisor.com to search for hotels/b&bs as this gives you a listing of places in each town and "warts and all" reviews from guests who have stayed there. This also has links to pricing/booking agencies (such as www.hotels.com). The nearest mainline stations are at Banbury and Northampton. Check out http://www.nationalrail.co.uk Long distance coaches are best through National Express: http://www.nationalexpress.com/home.aspx Local bus info is on Stagecoach: http://www.stagecoachbus.com/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
