British GP tickets selling fast

Tickets for the British Grand Prix are reportedly selling fast. Silverstone announced on Wednesday that general admission tickets for race day have sold out. However, three-day Grandstand and individual day tickets for practice on the Friday and qualifying on the Saturday are still available

The circuit, which is in the process of adding a new section of track for the 2010 race, is also adding three new grandstand locations.

"Tickets have been selling well over the last few months, but we still have a long way to go to sell-out in all areas," managing director Richard Phillips said. "Fans have made the most of our early booking offers and the 'General Admission' tickets are always among the first to sell-out. Whilst they don't offer access to grandstands, fans enjoy being able to watch the action from different locations, on raised banks around the circuit. These tickets are extremely popular, and have sold out even faster than in previous years."
