Discounts on 2014 Phillip Island World Superbike tickets
The Phillip Island round is scheduled for February 21 - 23, 2014 (subject to FIM ratification) and will likely be the season opener for both World Superbike and World Supersport again.
GENERAL ADMISSION
The best deal amongst the ticketing discounts announced today is a three day General Admission pass (GA) for just $99, slashing a massive $51 off the 2013 gate price of $150.
To add to the value, children 15 and under are free, making a family weekend at the supers totally affordable.
"This is a sensational price," says circuit managing director, Fergus Cameron. "We want fans to enjoy the entire world superbike experience. We wait all year for the riders to head down under, so make a long weekend of it, get on your bike, book your trackside campsite and enjoy every moment of the action from Friday to Sunday.
"At $99 for three days for an adult, and free for kids, world superbikes has never been so affordable."
BAR SBK
Bar SBK, with access to three premium, undercover viewing locations at Doohan Corner, Siberia and Lukey Heights, is also "on sale" at just $220 for a three day pass. NOTE: this price is only available until September 30, 2013.
VIP TREATMENT
If VIP hospitality is more your style, book before September 30 to go in the draw to be one of two winners to receive a full refund on tickets and be in the running for a helicopter or course car ride. **
CAMPGROUND
If you're keen to camp at the track, early bookers can also get a site "on sale". Nab a campsite now for $30 off the normal price - just $80 for four nights (in Thursday, out Monday). Situated just above Southern Loop, you can enjoy great views and even sleep-in of a morning, avoid the traffic and be at the track for the first crack of the engines.
And with World Superbikes always a hot February date, there's no better time to camp. Bring your bike, because at the world supers bikes are more than welcome trackside. Cruise the spectator areas, find a favourite spot, park your machine and sit back and enjoy summer at the supers island-style!
Under Dorna ownership, there will be a raft of rule changes applied to the series for 2014, in an effort to cut costs and boost the World Superbike grid. A new 'EVO' class has recently been launched, which aims to ensure a complete manufacturer's motorcycle package is offered to non-factory teams at the right price. That should bulk up the grid and spice up the racing, which should make Phillip Island a hot destination yet again!
