The cheapest tickets are like $1k for 3 days, there is nothing cheap about it
But its part of a boys trip to Sin/BKK/HKG for 10 days with a mate
I thought It was pretty good value - I did a lot of maths around the costs of a Thurs-Mon weekend last year with a view to doing it this year.
Around $540 for Fri-Sun for general admin 'Premier Walkabout' tickets which should give you access to most of the track so you'd be able to soak it all in.
Compared to other events you could go to and relative closeness to Australia, its a cheap weekend (for that sort of activity). It'll be a great man-weekend, you'll have a ball.
Yeah, we ended up going with a grandstand package that included grandstands and zone access for all 3 days which gave us some wiggle room on where to be and what to do.
Also staying (via points) at the Sofitel for the event which will be quite nice
For flights
70k UA points got me
SQ F in new 777-300ER for SYD->SIN
SQ J in regional A330 for SIN->BKK
TG F in newer 747 for BKK->SYD
I'm really looking forward to this trip already
That said.... Progress was made today (by outsourced labor) on the 244 to start the work on completing it
