i did here is what i got - the multi turn pass (its different this year though) turn 1, grandstand and turn 15. paddock pass, pit walk (which i didnt do because i met marquez) i opted out of the food part.

multi turn 199 for 3 days
paddock pass 250
food would have brought it to 999 i didnt do the food. i wasnt going to eat that much buffet style food for 3 days.

That's what I'm saying. You didn't do the VIP Village, thus knocking something you've never tried. I'm not hyping it up, and as far as saying "it's not worth the money" well, that's relative to the person. You keep saying "buffet style food". It was catered by a well known local company. It was far from a buffet trough. I never ate chicken. Tony Parker sure didn't have a problem with it. I watched him take the entire tray of cheese cake petit fours back to his table for himself.

I would say the pros are:
- Food
- Concierge
- A lot parking (I was 350 yards from my vehicle to my seat)
- Included Paddock Pass ($250)
- Full open bar
- Seating/view
- Freebies (schedule, t-shirts, swag bag etc)
- A/C if it's hot, cover if it's raining
- Real bathrooms

Cons-
- Singha being a sponsor means it's the exclusive beer (not a fan)
- $900 per person (buy on the MotoGP site due to the exchange rate)
- Pretty long walk from Ducati Island, vendors etc
- Frequency/duration of food being brought out.
- Ran out of booze on Saturday (We definitely did out part)

I'm still on the fence about what tickets I'm buying this year. I'm working with a rep right now for a paddock loft @ $399 per person. This will include paddock passes.

As I said I passed on it. Who cares about Tony Parker is he better than anyone else? I got drinks whenever I wanted and I don't drink beer. Vip is not worth the money that's why I didn't get it

I also like to walk around not be cooped up in one small area. I got free parking also so you paid 450 extra for a t-shirt and some food and beer no thanks

The point. You missed it.

I get your point I saw where the seats where I had Paddock passes and I'm glad I didn't waste my money.

I've also sat in the luxury boxes at Yankee Stadium and the garden. Same basic concept and it's just not worth it. Unless it's free

No, you don't. This is the point I was making:

Your argument is like me saying I rode a base 1199 once and think the Superleggera isn't worth the money so no one should buy it.

Ok so u do your thing. Get your one seat at the grandstand which is terrible if you walk around you have to go all the way back for your so called food and drink. And maybe you can see some has been point guard eat some buffet food. Have fun with that

Flights and AirBnB booked, but have not bought tickets to the race yet...likely will only go to races and none of the stuff before. Anyone have any insight as to where I should sit? Last year I sat at turn 13 I believe...and while it was great, there wasn't much speed to be seen, no passing, etc. So, where should I sit and why?

Thanks

All booked.....taking my son and his buddy. Got the VIP with MotoGP village And pit walk passes. Said screw it and even grabbed a golf cart to get around even better without walking my shoes off. lol I know it's big bucks but we don't really get away much and thrilled that two 19 year olds still want to hang out with dad. Lol should be a total blast. Hope to see you guys.....

4 Guys, a 6x12 with bikes and camping....

I don't have a ticket yet, they said I will receive the info 2 weeks ahead...
I might buy the DUC island anyways just for the heck of it.
