Got my tickets for F1: COTA GP.

Anyone else going? Tickets went on sale Sat and are already sold out, only GA left, maybe PSL's but I expect those to have been filled first. I heard hotel prices in the area are already $800

Majofo might have a few rooms available.

$500 + bacon

 

I NEVER GOT AN EMAIL from F1

 

Yeah, I didn't know until I heard it from the news last night.. I was like Oh s#&%!

The best seats were taken already. I still got decent seats but not the ones I wanted.

You better believe people are reselling them. But at $350 / ea, expect to be paying at least 500 / ticket and ~2k for the main Grandstands.

 

GA still gets you access to grassy knolls to watch, but you better get your spot early and be ready to knock a bitch down to get there.

 

I'm a lil late on the thread but me and my friends are going. We got 7 general admission 3 day passes. I saw today they added 15,00 more tickets because they had sold out of the grand stand seating so fast.

 

So it's on? The local sports commentators keep talking as if it's not a done deal yet.

 

You had to use the link I posted up a while ago to get advance notice. I passed on going-way too much money for this race. I'll let things get settled down a year or two and then check it out. $800/room? That's fucking insane.

 

I can just stay with a buddy that lives in Austin

 

so, is that stay with your buddy in Austin as close as you'll get to the race since you don't have a ticket?

 

Some lucky GA tickets just got upgraded. A friend of mine was upgraded to stand seating at Turn 11.

I just checked Hotels[dot]com and there are officially no rooms available 11/16-11/18 out of the 200+ in the area from San Marcos to Round Rock.

Majofo still has room.

 

It's definitely on.. +300k people expected to come, 30% overseas, 80% out-of-state.

Maybe more visitors than SXSW.

 

Ha don't have tix yet but I see plenty available on their website.

lol goddam I just looked at a random hotel - a Super 8, and rooms go for $310 a night on race weekend; the next weekend they are $73 a night.

 

Shit, that's not bad. I couldn't find anything on Hotels[dot]com

You better get tix soon! They just opened up that block of tickets. It was previously sold out.

 

Man we rented a house on vrbo.com.....paid 875 for thurs-sun (split with 7 people). Hotels are a ripoff!

 

 

Now there's a smart idea!

 

x2

 

Those that are going.. you buy your 3-day parking pass yet?

freaking $220.

 

WTF?!!! I'd rent a MTB and ride it there, chain it to a fence first before paying $220 to park for 3 days.

 

Hey, can't you be a little more understanding? Bernie needs your support.

 

yeah, poor broke bastard that he is does need our support

 

He's broke... compared to Gates.

 

I'm guessing the neighborhood around the track will have parking. Probably $30-50




I'm going to make myself feel better by looking at hot pics of his daughters.

He must have a deal with the devil.. how does a troll like that, become a billionaire and produce this:

 

I'm coming too!
Can't wait!
Going with wife, cousin and either his gf or dad, not sure yet. We'll be in turn 12 upper section.

Where did you find a house to rent? I found 1 guy renting his bed n breakfast but it was $1000 per night, 5 night minimum. All I found available after making many calls was a super 8 at $340 a night per room.

 

Let me know if you can't find accommodations.

 

was that for me?

I already booked the Super 8 bargain of the century $340 a night months ago... i was just ranting. I couldn't believe how rapidly everything filled up.

 

A buddy just told me they saw the Sauber, Ferrari and Red Bull teams having breakfast in the Omni hotel this morning



Already a lot of people in town.. fuck.

 

Why is this in Moto news.. this isn't a news feed.

This is a ramblings feed for anyone going so we can help each other out, rant and shoot the shit. Nobody is going to see this here.

Petition to move back to Ramblings or at least Sports talk.

 

Wish I could go. Going to the Lupe Fiasco concert though.

 

Back stage passes to Lupe.. I'll be with Chief Keef, Common and Twista.. Special appearance by Kanye.

 

Anyways I'm so psyched.. traffic today wasn't bad.. It's like the quiet before the storm.

Friday looks to be medical at 830A and then test trials. I'm going to carpool with my buddy. He's bringing one son on Friday, the other on Sat, maybe a babe on Sunday..

 

to whoever moved thread..

 

Sadly, in the USA, on Monday morning, after the race, nobody will be talking about it at work, school, etc.....because F1 in the USA is like soccer.....nobody cares.

 

Hey! I care about soccer!

 

 

here's to hoping it grows in the US!

People that are fans of soccer still dont watch american soccer because overseas its much more fun to watch. And also fyi theres always lots of soccer chatter at least between my friends on fb.

F1 hopefully will grow in the US after some time.

 

pics and on the spot reporting bitches or

 

I can't wait to see this race. I have no cable though......still going to need to download it to watch on monday

 

just caught some of FP2 here at the office. Speed's camera angles currently suck, I hope when I download the bbc/skytv broadcast they are coming off different feeds

 

arent all the feeds the same?? Its f1 that broadcasts them and the commentators just go off of that?? I dunno...
