instead of comparing the prices for the UK event, I think it
makes more sense to benchmark against that of Malaysia, Shanghai,
Jpan and Australia. My feeling is that prices will be above those
of Malaysia, Shanghai but lower than Japan's.
No doubt these tickets don't come cheap but it shld not be
exorbitant lest the buzz fizzle out by year one. It does not make
sense if the gahmen tailor this strictly 100% to draw the tourists,
there must be some local supporters - and high prices put them off.
Already, being a street race, ppl can throng to Marina foodcourt or
for those working in Merill Lynch or UBS, they get to see the race
from their office - which is free. Not unless, gahmen pass a law to
have them block up the windows during the event to avoid "free"
viewing..
