And this is how it ends - A Grandstand -yes :-) Covered - no :-(

A deep feeling of dissatisfaction after receiving an email from Ticketek with "important information about your event" including this:

Yes - the offer of a refund for those who were offered pre-sale tickets without being given all the relevant information. Yes - a grandstand with a reserved seat for three days and we hope that the weather plays fair. No - Tassie, the state with four seasons in one day, is not the ideal place for an uncovered grandstand.

The questions remain the same. Are there any other rounds without the offer of at least some covered grandstands? Why has it been a problem this year when there has been a covered grandstand for the last five years? Why should Tasmanian fans not have this option? Why were mixed messages made when the V8 website has Mark Perry quoted in a media release that definitely suggests a grandstand with a cover?

Surely there is still time to try and find a cover.

You know be sun safe - Slip on a shirt, slop on suncreen, slap on a hat, seek shade .... have a covered grandstand!
