F1 Fanatic

Thanks mike

Billy,
i stayed last year at a campsite at the circuit “camping/parking green” i think it was called. its bookable through bookf1.com and costs £40 thurs- mon pitch only! some people even arrive on wed. its a pretty good site. yes porta loos but the shower facilities were free and good! as bars shops etc round the circuit there arnt any grrrr! i traveled by my self with no transport by train from barc and then taxi to site cost 12euro. There a few cafe bars in montmelo my fave was near policestation and had free wifi i used go into town get bits and bobs from suermarket have afew beers and check fb etc! luckly i got lifts most night from brits i camped next to but one night stayed out for longer and got taxi back gone midnight it cost 25 euros! If traveling alone i would suggest hiring a car if camping for a run into town of an evening if theres a few i suppose taxi wouldnt be too bad but did find hard to come by later at night! Any other questions i might be able to help with let me know!

if you dont want to cart camping gear and need just the basics theres a decathlon just of las ramblas in barc where you can pic up a pop up tent etc!

good luck

Hello,
I have booked tickets with ‘bookf1.com’ they say that they will post out my tickets once the circuit has printed them (usually 3-4 weeks prior to the race) but I am anxious as I can see some of you have already got your tickets…can anyone put my mind at ease, has anyone purchased their tickets from this site before? I booked these back in Sept and am now getting concerned as May approaches.
Many thanks :)

Nicola- Yes I have used Book F1 before and they were great. Yes, only 2-4 weeks before is correct, which can be an issue if you are travelling.

We booked them for Japan last year, and I wanted the GP to be last on our tour ( a bit of the big build up thing) so really if we had them sent to Australia it could have literally been 2-3 days before we left- not good.

Fortunatley for us my wife’s friend is in Toyko so got them sent to her. I assume if someone is away travelling and will rock up to the race they make alowances for that, pick up at the gates maybe??”

I am going to Melbourne next week (YEH!!) and got my tickets this Wednesday, just one week before (and I am 800km away from Melbourne), so not uncommon so dont stress – enjoy the race :)

ok im really getting worried now over the last 3 months i have emailed the circuit 3 times and no reply. I have bought 2 tickets for grandstand L and selected print at home but the email with the pdf file only had one ticket with the details of the seat numbers and rows but not the grandstand. I hope that i’ll be able to exchange this ticket for two when i get to the track.

this is a mock up of the ticket i got

Did anyone receive the same ticket after selecting the print at home option

@chris

That mock up doesn’t look like what I received. The PDF I received didn’t have QR codes – it had barcodes but it did have 4 pages in the PDF with four separate tickets, one on each page.

The covering email had a customer service link including a page where you can log in to your account and reprint the tickets.

“In case of trouble receiving the PDF file you can access your personal zone and we will send them to you again. For security reasons, we can only send your tickets to the email address you provided when you purchased them.”

My ticket came through from Travel Republic this morning. Now I just need to learn enough Spanish to work out where I’m sitting.
