Retro Rides Gathering 2016 Early Bird Tickets on sale NOW

[molet5r]

sorry but I won't be going, but I tried this for the last 2 shelsley meets and not really feeling the vibe and love of the prescott gatherings, which I rate as some of the the greatest car meets I've ever attended. Ok things move on and things will change, but it doesn't help when your chosen brand of manufacturer is constantly slagged of by the hill commentree bloke, which in my book were still retro and I have a big up to the folks that wish to try and entertain the troops with chucking a 1.5-2 ton car at a narrow hill (VOLVO....whats wrong with it.....yet you seem to love Saabs). The only thing that these cars could possibly have held against then is the fact they don't rot like the other cars of there time, yet the interesting models are just as rare as other manufacturers as far as I can see. Also Claymore has had some real bad treatment here and I know all the in's and out's of his vehicles movements at the said prescott meet and there was definitely no roundabout drifting, he rarely left the field. Yes hands up he did a naughty flyby of the campsite , got his telling off and behaved himself, the rest is bull. Will think again and review how I feel, I may be back but for now I'll leave it, I own a some nice Volvo's and feel a total out cast, I'll look back as and when and see if the old true rrg feeling returns

Guys I've probably missed this somewhere, is it priced per car or person?

It's been three years since my last run up the hill and I can't remember ?

Per person, otherwise everyone would be like this in their cars

Not going to be posting any "hot" times with them lot in the car ?

Nearly February, so just wondering - is the general sale of tickets soon, or nearer the end of the month.

End of the month for general sale, if you previous bought from the Retro Rides store you'll get an email a couple of days before hand, which should answer this.

Hotwire are you still going to email people who booked the previous year for priority?

Yes, I think I'll probably go down the route of password protecting the store for a day or so, and then emailing the password to the previous purchasers. Then open it up to general sale. In all likelyhood it'll be the 24th for the previous people and 27th for the general. I'm hoping that the weekend tickets don't go as crazy as they did when we did the limited launch.

[PandaSelecta]

27th for me then, as I couldn't make it last year.

[b3nson]

I do hope the weekend tickets don't sell out before I can one on the 27th, really kicking myself for not snapping up an early bird one now.

[mark1]

Just tried to get my ticket and can't? the link is broken in the email?
Help please.

They will go up with the general sale on Friday. Realised the graphic had the wrong price in this morning Couldn't re-jig it on the train. So I'll put them up on Friday. We won't sell out of those (at least I hope we don't because then it'll be properly insane!)

[PandaSelecta]

Is Friday the day of the remaining camping tickets?

Hi, Will there be a password for general sale on Friday ? New to the site but i'd like to buy a ticket for the Sunday and have a go at the hillclimb if possible

[HoTWire]

Friday sale will be un passworded ... I was hoping to have a bunch of tickets, but it looks like we'll only have 100..! Which is surprising.

out of curiosity, how many camping tickets have sold already? did you stick all 300 up?

I kept 100 back to add in on Friday.

No numbers, or count down this time (it caused some rushed buying last year). However I will say we sold out the first 200 in the early bird in 8 hours in November... it is now over ~14 hours since we put these ones up and there are still tickets available.

looking forward to rrg2016
