My brother and I are making the trek to Glen Helen as well. Is the VIP package worth the extra dough for MXGP?

Bought a 3 day adult ticket $70 plus $3 surcharge. Comes out to around $24 a day to watch a full weekend of racing. Sounds like a good deal to me.

I will be camping all weekend and enjoying the races.

It's also about €40 cheaper than it is to see a GP in Europe

You Americans have the cheapest prices for everything else in the developed world (gas, food, electricity, internet).. it makes me laugh when y'all bitch at having to pay what the rest of the world pays for things.

There it is.

This sport is soooooo much cheaper here...from bikes to gas to race entries to tix for events.
Yeah it's great. I went to Anaheim last year and I couldn't believe how cheap some of the tickets were compared to what they would be over here. $53 for a GP is a great price in my opinion.

I would have to disagree here. I looked in to this and at the end of the day they pay pretty much the same. Their taxing system is different, that`s all. I mean income=what`s left after all expanses+taxes.

$100 for Sunday 2016 world Superbike race at laguna seca. No Supersport round, and only one race on Sunday vs 2 before. The motoamerica races were lame.

Had an awesome time and glad I went

Strange that, over here in OZ the mx season is primarily run in the cooler months and the sx is run over summer.

Mind you our championship rounds are only 6 off each mx and sx.
Your MX nationals are over 10 rounds, I went to round 6 a month ago at Nowra, this weekend is round 8, still 2 rounds left.

MXGP showcases the best riders in the world , againist D class competition

Making any decent rider in the MXGP a sandbagger scared of the big leagues!

It should be $25 tops

If it was $20 the place would be jammed

Worldwide MXGP was always considered the B class with AMA being the A class , but with all the washed up AMA talent going to Canada , the racing is sooooo good that the MXGP has become the new C class (littered with D class potential)

$53 no one will pay that unless it's busting at the seams with A class riders

Add in the cheap ass powers that be @ GH with GL at the helm and get ready to pay double in the end what you would've at a US NAT

really for what? In Europe the atmosphere is awesome , the fans in Europe don't really know that the bulk of the riders really suck. They have nothing to compare too , so that atmosphere at the races is pretty good in most locations but they sound dumb trying to defend those weaklings on vital!

Funny part, its not just now , back at the 2007 MXON , budds creek , RC's last race , it was evident how bad the rest of the world was when the US sends a top team

Point being , throw in a RC & a RV with Tim Ferry and it's worth $60! And the MXGP is packed like that MXON was back in 2007

Today you would pay/invite the likes of Tomac , Webb & Dungey & the US fans would come in droves

In this thread, and the 'Great Herlings interview' one, this Icespikes person really does show a level of idiocy, that thoroughly deserves the label of 'Vitard'.

Wow, so the GP's have gone from C class to D class in less than a week?

It's bizarre though, all these riders in the GP's really suck, yet they somehow manage to win the MXoN on a regular basis, win SX races and national titles in America. It's bizarre how this sport works at times isn't it?

By the way, we did try and throw an RV into the mix for you but unfortunately he didn't quite make it



Actually, nevermind, looking at that photo I can understand why you may think it's a D class race

I have paid 90 euro for my weekend Des Nations ticket this year

Two mates have paid 700 euro each for the VIP passes

I think they also paid another 100 euro to have an RV parked there for them waiting or something..

$20 lol, most local races charge 10-15 bucks to watch local events. How much is lorretas? $40, for fast A guys. I pay to see the best riders in the world, euro/Americans. I love the sport. If $53 is your deciding factor,stay home and complain its not on tv also for free,smh.

Exactly! $53 isn't shit to see top level mx. I have 3 rooms reserved in Charlotte because I was so pumped on a GP being on the east coast. I gladly spend $53 to see it. Hell NFL tickets are $55 for nose bleed seats. I'll take MX all day long for that price!
