Silverstone Circuits Limited has announced today (Thursday) that race day tickets for the Sunday of the 2008 British Grand Prix are now sold out.
With tickets for the Sunday sold out, fans wanting a taste of this year's F1 action are now switching their attention to individual day tickets for both practice on Friday 4 and qualifying on Saturday 5 July. Adult tickets are still available from as little as £49 for the Friday and £69 for the Saturday (child prices are 50% of an adult ticket on both days), however, due to overwhelming levels of demand, only a limited number of tickets remain for qualifying on Saturday.
Family tickets are available from as little as £109 for practice on the Friday and £159 for qualifying on the Saturday. A limited number of hospitality places are also still on offer.
Richard Phillips, Managing Director of Silverstone Circuits Ltd, commented: "The support for this year's British Grand Prix has been exceptional. This is the earliest I can remember us selling out of race day tickets, but fans can still buy individual day tickets for qualifying on Saturday and practice on Friday. Qualifying, in particular, builds to an unbelievable climax and is a great day to experience.
"British fans are some of the most loyal and knowledgeable fans in the world and we are delighted that they have shown such overwhelming support for the event. A sell out crowd is exactly what Silverstone, Formula One, the drivers and, more importantly, the fans deserve. This clearly highlights the popularity and importance of the British Grand Prix."
