GetShorty Added a reply to Am I the only one tired of Infront / MXGP's corporate greed?
5/4/2025 11:16am Apparently someone at Infront finally got the message — or demand just eroded enough to force their hand — because they’ve quietly rolled back the “Early Bird” annual price from $145 to $115. We’re already about a third of the way into the season, so I’m not sure if this is just a mid-season panic move, but either way, it’s...

When corporate interests and government are so intertwined it’s hardly a free market. I call it more like a planed economy. The western world is like a privately owned/corporate controlled planned economy operating through the mechanisms of the state. China for example is a planned economy where the state/goverment owns the corporations. Here the corporations own the government. It’s just flipped-flopped, though they’re both capitalism. One is state controlled the other is corporate controlled. Neither are free market and neither are good for innovation because of all the handicaps lobbied/payed for by the corporations and applied by the state to...

I watch it for free on CBS sports. and I do agree that most of those tracks seem like 1 day pop ups to me. (besides the well-known ones of course)

It blows my mind that full season of F1 live coverage is actually cheaper than MXGP or AMA SX/MX. Something is wrong when a niche sport like motocross costs more than a true mainstream premier sport.

I bought the MXGP-TV season pass for 2023 and I think I paid around $100.00. I was pretty happy with the cost per race break down. I had not followed the European series for years so it took a while to associate the name and country of the riders with the number on their bike. The price at $145 is more than I am willing to pay and since Prado ended up being my favorite Euro and he's coming to the USA, MXGP-TV is not in the plans for 2025. If it was around $110 or less I would have...

Keep ticket prices low, make tv broadcasts free or very cheap, sell tons of tickets, get huge crowds and a shitload of tv viewers.. then you have ground to stand on to get big money from companies wanting to advertise and sponsor the events. Make your money off them. Instead they keep milking the shit out of the fans and less and less are going/watching because of it. It’s a cannibalistic practice and they’re just shooting themselves in the foot. Crowds have been pathetic at most nationals and supercross for the past 10-15 years at least. They’re non existent at...

10/14/2024 6:30am Thanks for the reply, and I appreciate the discussion. However, I respectfully disagree with your notion which seems to be that the free market will always dictate fair prices, and here’s why. 1. Markets aren't always in perfect equilibrium The assumption that free markets always find a “fair” price rests on the idea of perfect equilibrium. In reality, markets are...

10/13/2024 9:18am I'm genuinely baffled by the reactions here. My original comment has received more downvotes than upvotes; telling me I have the right to not subscribe; and even someone saying to stop voting blue(??). I think everyone on here is sick of the rate of "inflation," and when I merely draw attention to the wide disparity between the rate Inmoto is...

What is your opinion on the MXDN events you have been to in Europe? How was the atmosphere?

10/11/2024 7:59am I was at Maggiora in 2016, and RedBud in 2018 and 2022. I've also been to several MX Nationals from Glen Helen to Southwick, and an MXGP in Lommel. In my opinion, the energy at an MXON is at least 2X that of any regular season race, period. Now U.S. versus Europe: It depends on what you value, but If...

10/10/2024 11:42am I've subscribed to MXGP TV off and on since 2017. In 2017 the "early-bird" price was about $70. In 2023 it was up to $115, or about an 8% average increase year-over-year. In 2024 it was $125, or a 9% increase. In 2025 it jumps to $145, or an almost 15% increase! It seems like they're just dialing up the...

7/5/2024 5:58am Been a long time 350 rider and fan. I’ve never been fast, and am a once a month weekend practice warrior. Thinking about mixing it up and trying a 250 for a change. My current bike is a ‘23 350 XC-F Factory Edition (yes, I know it’s a woods bike, but I ride it at the track—just wanted all the...

8/31/2018 11:08am I have two extra VIP Gold tickets. My brother and I are attending with two other friends that unfortunately had to back out. Only caveat is that you'll have to meet us at the track on Saturday to do the exchange as we're getting our tickets from industry friends.
