Prices depend on whether you want a 3 day pass or just the Sunday and which stand you pick, but looking like 1300 pesos for a three day pass.
Here's the link the ticketing people sent me

In El sitio líder en venta de entradas para recitales, teatro, deportes y mucho más | Ticketek all the rates are in Pesos ( arg)
You can pay with credit card and pick up the tickets at the accreditation centre in Termas de Rio Hondo. Located at the Amerian Hotel.

Message to the two Kiwis, have you been to the UK Hubb, or some similar event, probably in 2012. Am sure I've seen you around. You guys on a KTM or pair of KTMs?

Heya Mike ... you might have seen us on TV, crimewatch!! , yes we were at Hubb meeting Cambria, both Ellen and I did a presentation so maybe that was it.

We were on two x DR650s but now on one KTM950 Super Enduro called Maya.

GP, we (I) am looking like going, Ellen will likely go to Salta and I will catch her up there.

Keen for a MotoGP meeting all??, I have full camping gear so if there is camping at the track I am in.

Next question is anyone else wanting to do the three day thing?, also what part of the track, looking at the prices I won't do the big boys stand but No13 which is 8, 9, 10 looks like reasonable value at $188.

Thoughts?

I'd probably be up for the weekend. Am headed to Brasilia at the moment as the bike needs a bit of TLC and she's hoping we'll fine it there. I too would want to do the camping thing to keep the costs down. Haven't a clue about which stand, so would be happy to go with a group decision.

hey guys

my plan was to arrive friday and camp at the circuit approx $100 USD at gov exchange rate.
There is also a fan zone/concert area 5km in the local town.
approx $25usd per night.
I assume there will be buses.

with the exchange rate best option would be to turn up and pay at the gate
but alas i feel they might be booked out especially for the camping ??

From looking at the circuit map I figure stand 11 depending which end you get to see the last corner aswell as good view across the otherside of the track. But stand 12 for the last lap would be the best depending on big screen tv around the circuit also some heavy braking for 2nd last turn and some great noise as they go up the straight.
both these stands are not numbered so first in best dressed.
Though if you get in early there is a general admission area between the 2 stands but there might be a bit of argie bargie pushin going on.

Hello fellow moto wanderers

My wife and I have already bought our tickets for turn 11, Grada Oro. We are in Salta right now awaiting a driveshaft repair on our 2008 GSA. I have been looking for accommodations for 2 but picking are slim and costly. I just called Hotel America this morning and it is the cheapest I have found available and they want $80 US PER PERSON PER NIGHT. Another hotel wanted $100US PPPN. We don't have camping gear but for those prices it'd be worth buying cheap gear and camping 3 nights. We plan to arrive on the 24th. Would love to meet up with fellow riders...
