Formula 1 fans have voiced their anger over tickets for next year\u2019s British Grand Prix, after it was revealed that prices would increase based on demand.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Silverstone organisers released information over ticket prices, and said that prices would automatically refresh every 90 seconds due to demand.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Wow \u2013 @SilverstoneUK<\/a> are now hiking prices for the British GP based on demand on the site. Along with their new priority queue (which is now obviously connected). This is absolutely disgraceful. Regular F1 fans are going to be very quickly outpriced by this greed https:\/\/t.co\/Bw1pXGfLn8<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Jordan \u00b9\u2070\u00b3 (@F1_Jordan) September 7, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The original update on ticketing on the Silverstone website read<\/a>: \u201cWe\u2019ll be on sale soon. When we are, you\u2019ll need to book fast; our prices will increase based on demand. These prices will automatically refresh every 90 seconds.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n However, following backlash from motorsport fans, organisers changed the wording. It now reads<\/a>: \u201cMake sure you\u2019re one of the first to hear when 2023 tickets go on sale and sign up here. We\u2019re expecting demand to be high so you\u2019ll need to be fast!\u201d<\/p>\n One fan responded to the possible dynamic pricing approach and said: \u201cWow, Silverstone are now hiking prices for the British GP based on demand on the site. Along with their new priority queue (which is now obviously connected). This is absolutely disgraceful. Regular F1 fans are going to be quickly outpriced by this greed.\u201d<\/p>\n Another fan said<\/a>: \u201cI was planning to go\u2026yeah don\u2019t think it\u2019s on the cards anymore. This is a disgusting money grab.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The British Grand Prix took place this year in front or record crowds<\/a>, as Formula 1 continues to surge in popularity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Some 400,000 people were expected to descend on Silverstone Circuit in early July to witness Ferrari\u2019s Carlos Sainz stand atop the podium, alongside Red Bull\u2019s Sergio Perez and British Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Some 142,000 tickets were sold for race day, with tickets selling out in the shortest amount of time in the race\u2019s history.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Image: Jos\u00e9 Pablo Dom\u00ednguez<\/a> on Unsplash<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
