My son is there with a mate. They have the three day ticket with camping - £426 for the two of them. That's the basic general admission, standing in the rain (and mud) price. They arrived early Friday morning and didn't have to queue for long, but decided quickly that the tent would stay in its' bag and have slept in the car. Spoke to him today and he is enjoying it!
Silverstone will have upset a lot of people this weekend, but I can't see what else they could have done in readiness other than concrete over a large part of the surrounding countryside. And that ain't going to happen.
Parking on grass is only way for events attracting these sort of numbers. Other examples are airshows and festivals. No more concrete in Northants.
My son was at Download where weather did same and had a great time.
