Title: Prediction

We're only 4 weeks from the race now, and there are more and more tickets appearing both here and on that auction site.
The same trend happened for the last couple of years. Hugely inflated prices for a couple of months, then lots of tickets flooding the market and they tended to go for face value. In some cases in the last week or so, several on that site went for well below face value.
My prediction...give it another week and we'll see the same thing happening again so any of you without tickets at the moment, keep your eyes out and you should get sorted without having to pay over the odds!!
Good Luck, and see you all down there!!

Bang on JP, last year we had 3 Expo tickets to sell due to a swap into the Houx Annexe. Only 1 got sold and sent prior to leaving.
Can't believe the agro it was.

JPC is bang on, we got a really cheap Houx ticket the week before the race.
Watch stuff on 'that auction site' that is over priced and not attracting bids. When the auction finishes with no sale, get in touch and make an offer. I restricted myself to reasonably local sellers so that the handover could be done in person.
There was a five star hotel package last year worth over £1000 that was not selling at £400, I wonder whhat you could have got it for a couple of days before the race!
