The ticket prices are a rip off imho. I have often seen grandstand seats empty on the day of the race, and on other days as well. Could they not have been sold? But no, if you want a grandstand seat you have to buy four days. The seats should be sold on a daily basis, not for the whole weekend. As for general admission on Sunday, no wonder attendance has fallen charging A$99.00. Jeez, make it a $100 and be done with it! No wonder a lot of people wont go, they can't afford it any more. Add the rip off prices inside the venue for a burger or a drink, the blatant robbery for parking if you go by car, and if you have a family, just forget it, or take out a second mortgage so you can fund the day out. No wonder so many stay home and watch it on tv.
For the last few years the race has lost millions and has been funded by the Victorian taxpayer, I think last year it lost $32m. Not that I'm complaining, I don't live in Victoria and haven't been to the GP for a few years anyway. However, it is a good event, and a favourite for the drivers, there's plenty of good viewing areas if you go gen admish, and if the weather is good, it's a great day out. Melbourne is one of the best places to visit in Australia btw.
