Tickets
for Wales Rally GB 2003 went on sale
on Friday 15th August 2003. You are now able to buy tickets for selected
single stages, Day Passes, Event Passes and World Rally Passes.
The official site says that "To avoid disappointment we would
urge you to buy your ticket as soon as possible, and in advance of the
event". I would take this advice, as although the stages are
not as busy as they used to be, if you want to be in charge of your own
destiny and choose exactly where YOU want to go, purchase your desired
ticket as soon as you can.
Tickets are always sold on a first come, first served basis. You can order
via the telephone or via the official website, up until 8th November 2003,
but if you order via the telephone hotline or online on or after Monday
27th October 2003, your tickets will not be posted to you,
as the organisers cannot guarantee delivery before your departure for
the Rally. Instead, you will need to collect your tickets from the ticket
collection point in front of Cardiff City Hall from 4th November 2003
onwards.
A booking fee of £2 per
ticket will apply (was originally quoted as £1) and also a processing
fee of £4.95 per transaction which includes postage.
So for example, purchasing 2
x Friday Passes, 2 x Saturday Passes
and 2 x Forest Stage Passes for Rhondda
will cost you £150.00 + £12.00
for the booking fee for the 6 tickets + £4.95
for post and packing, making a grand total of £160.95.
Bear in mind that if you want to go to the Felindre Service Area and you
are buying Day Passes you will have to pay an extra £7.50. In my
opinion - don't bother !
Note that a child is one aged between 9-15 years old inclusive. A child
of 8 years old or less is termed to be an infant and incurs no charge
apart from the purchase of a grandstand seat at the Cardiff SuperSpecial.
Children and infants must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
A dedicated telephone hotline - 0870 060 1764
- will be open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, from Friday 15th August
2003. Calls will be charged at the National Call Rate. Alternatively,
you can book online via the official website
here.
You will also be able to buy tickets at the ticket sales office at the
CIA, Cardiff from 15th August until Monday 3rd November 2003 or in front
of Cardiff City Hall from Tuesday 4th November through to Saturday 8th
November, subject to availability.
On the day, you will be able to buy tickets at selected stages only.
Important Note: Refund
Policy:
"No refunds will be issued for any stages that are cancelled, whether
in advance or on the day. Refunds equivalent to the price of the ticket,
and including any booking fees but excluding any processing fees, will
only be issued if the entire event is cancelled."
