British GP pricing announced - over a ton for Sunday alone

Hot on the heels of the announcement that Silverstone has signed a long term deal for the British Grand Prix, pricing has been announced on their website.

WIth general admission starting at £103, an uncovered grandstand at £157 and a covered grandstand at £220, it's one hell of a day out.  £880 for a family of four in a covered grandstand seems pretty extortionate to me.  

With little or no discount for children and the only real discount coming from a 3 day ticket, it's hardly a triumph for the fan who wants to visit in the flesh.  Looks like I'll be watching it on TV as usual.

Bernie talks a good game, but really is just greedy

Bernie's still trying to get Silverstone to fork out his extortionate fee for the British GP but really it's just greed.

According to The Guardian he says: "They say there is not much between us and them, so they should sign,"

This also begs the question, if there's so little between you and them, why don't you offer a contract for what they say is financially viable.  I know I'd much rather see a sustainable British than a few extra quid in Bernie's pocket.

He's trying to play the "oh look at the BRDC, aren't they being silly risking the future of the race" card and putting the onus on Silverstone to sign, but really he's still the problem.
