That's the whole point ! - they do not want "the guys in an old transit" anymore - don't forget - this is a premier world class event...

Hey Bruce - you having trouble deciding which package to go for ?
Decisions, Decisions...
The official TT VIP hospitality package @ £312 per person
or
The Platinum VIP package @ £1,200 per person
How many would sir require

rather walk round a wet sidecar paddock in wellies eating a macdonalds mate

The McDonald's is stretching it a bit Bruce - & I don't suppose they'd let you in the VIP suite with yer wellies on...

£312 for easy access to the TT paddock, & priority parking too...can't even do that if you're riding...

£15 for the prize-giving? WTF? Used to be free

Still is if you've got tickets...

Is that what it was like in the olden days?

I've never been to a free anything in my life.

Olden days - cheeky young whippersnapper Don't know about now but hot drinks in paddock refreshment tenet after morning practice were free too

Kettle is always on at ours Bob.

Cheers Si! Will be wasted at TT as I certainly shall not be there - regrettably

Think it was discussed at the time - but the "Tea Tent" (& morning practice) was done away with a few years ago - IIRC - it wasn't good for the "image" of the TT - same as "the guys in an old transit"
"hospitality" has to be paid for these days...
