Well, not a great start to my birthday.
Brands Hatch
did not have our tickets for collection at the gate.
A supervisor checked in motorsport vision's main centre.
So we were sent to media accreditation (why I have no idea).
They didn't have them, we were sent back.
So at the main gate we asked again.
A different person did some checking, came up with nothing.
We really started complaining when the F3 Euro practice ended.
You know we support Plowey !
Finally agreed to get us temporay access for Friday, and sort tickets on for the weekend.
Then someone asked the German representative in the MV main office.
Yes, she had our tickets.
Complete and utter confusion.
It didn't get any better when I checked our grandstand seats.
They were nowhere near the podium, they were at the opposite end !
Germans didn't know their Arschloch from their Ellenbogengelenk.

However the Motorsport VIsion staff were great (apart form the supervisor who checked first time and didn't ask the Germans) all friendly, smiling, helpful.
Particularly the ticket-colectors on the grandstand who pointed out it was half empty and raining so why didn't I go where I wanted and get the podium photos?
