    It's 12 on the gate on Sunday according to POD test and tune website but 15 on the VW Action thing so I dunno
    It's only 10 if bought in advance from Pod website ......I give up now

    Advance ticket orders are subject to a booking fee of £2 per ticket and postage fee of £3 per order (no postage fee on "print at home tickets").

    Why would anyone pay in advance then for the peak performance if that is the case

    I'm presuming that most people will be buying on the day, if that's available. A lot of people may be waiting untill a little closer to the event so they can get a better idea of the weather.

    Not available on the day .I repeat .Not available on the day .
    Only tickets to spectate will be on the gate and nothing to do with RTOC .The VW event and/or POD are in charge of ticketing on the day .


    All tickets to run must be purchased in advance from the club shop !!! Also the camping tickets must be paid for in advance . Again these are not available on the Saturday night .

    Re: Pod Day 2012 General Chat

    In what way ?
    The club bought the tickets ages ago to hold 40 places for members and they have been on sale for members to buy
    It just seems that more and more less and less are interested .All things have a shelf life I suppose .

    im glad you have just answered that instead of me lee.

    i think you have done amazing sorting this deal out with the vw guys for the camping etc, this makes it even more appealing i think, im shocked at how few tickets we have sold for this, iv been trying to reach a wider audience via facebook in case some of our members dont check the boards to often

    I'm up for a jolly anywhere but there was no one pushing the thread and no one seeming to buy tickets so I doubt I'm going now.

    Why promote it on Facebook when the members are on here

    Re: Pod Day 2012 General Chat

    I think the overall idea is a good one, and I should imagine for those that do camp on the Saturday it will be a good crack given all the entertainment laid on by the vw guys.

    I personally thought the tickets went on sale a little to late, and the camping issue should have been raised sooner.

    But then again, if like me you were always planning on attending this event, I like most people won't finalize things untill the last few weeks anyway.

    I hope this doesn't spell the end of the rtoc pod day, as it's always been for me an enjoyable event.

    like most people already realise, the attention of most people in the club now is not about how quick it goes, it's about how "factory" it looks.

    Re: Pod Day 2012 General Chat

    I can't see how putting the tickets up earlier would have helped .It's always like this with last minute purchasing .The camping ,well that was an afterthought I agree and the VW thing has complicated it but we have done our best and secured a deal so I really cant see what more we could do .

    If anyone is to blame then it's the members

    I think its the nature of the 5 people hold back to see if the 5s running closer to the time.. That's the reason im not running this year.. Agreed though even though I'm new this year I'm not feeling much love in the club lately.. Just my view that is.

    Re: Pod Day 2012 General Chat

    I've bought a ticket but as of yet have no car to race (unless someone wants me to drive there's! )

    I got to say this year the hype for theday isn't as big as its been years before, i think this is probably the better of the 2 days the club do and its a shame so few tickets have been sold so far. I know few peoples cars aren't ready but thought there be few more than 5
    Maybe the fact its a sunday and its sharing it with other racers has put few people off or the camping situation maybe, i know this has put me off camping this year.

    Lets hope it does pick up as i'd hate to see this event get shelved in future


    Robbie, ouch mate that don't sound good lets hope you make a recovery and get back to driving/work

    I've yet to get my tickets.

    I'm probably going to chick my 5 down the track for old times sake.

    I can bring a couple of my customers with there minis again if that helps.

    3-4 minis easy?

    Re: Pod Day 2012 General Chat

    Going off what people have been saying about the amount of cars running, we will probaby all be around the back of the strip where all the cars that are running go.

    As for camping on the Saturday, I'm not sure, because the vw thing looks to be a big event, so I would imagine the first field near the strip will be full at least if not the first few.

    Probably a good idea if who ever is expecting to arrive first on the Saturday posts up on here where they are then we can all camp in the same spot.

    I'm expecting to arrive around 4pm on the Saturday.
