Silverstone sell-out

Organisers of this year’s Formula One British Grand Prix say the event will be its first sell-out since 1999.

All tickets have gone for the three-day race weekend, meaning a full-house of 100,000 on race day.

Said Andrew Waller, managing director of Silverstone Motorsport Ltd: “It’s particularly pleasing that the pricing structure we developed appears to have been a complete success.

“Both ticket sales and revenue are significantly up which is in major contrast to the problems other European circuits have been experiencing this year.”

While a limited number of hospitality packages are still available, general admission tickets are no longer being sold for the weekend.
