Tickets to watch the 2012 Isle of Man TT fuelled by Monster Energy from the iconic TT Grandstand have almost sold out, with less than four months to go until the action starts.
The main Grandstand in Glencrutchery Road, Douglas, has already sold out on three of the four race days, with the only remaining day – Monday, June 4 – showing a limited number of available tickets.
Interest in Grandstand tickets has been so significant; there is currently waiting list of 500 customers for Senior Race Day.
VIP Hospitality tickets are also much in demand, with Senior Race Day already sold out and limited availability on the remaining three race days.
Tickets for the newly introduced VIP Platinum Package are also selling fast and are sold out for June 2 and 8, with limited availability for the remaining two days.
This year also sees the introduction of ‘fan zones’ around the course. The five new areas, each offering a guaranteed seat in purpose-built grandstands, went on sale at the beginning of the year and in some instances have also sold out with little more than three months to go before the first bike turns a wheel.
The five new grandstands are all situated at iconic spots with spectacular views of the action - at Crosby Jump, Rhencullen, Ballacrye, Ginger Hall and the Creg-ny-Baa - and are priced at £25 for the Saturday and Friday race days and £20 for the midweek race days.
Isle of Man Tourism Political Member Geoff Corkish said:
“We have had a huge increase in demand for the TT Races confirmed, with visitor numbers up and early sales for grandstand tickets higher than they have ever been.”
“We are also revisiting areas such as the day trip market and practice week TT ‘taster’ packages and we are attracting new visitors to the event who are keen to experience this unique spectacle and the Island itself at first hand.”
“There is no doubt that the TT’s global status continues to grow.”
