JUST over a week since tickets went live for the 2024 FIM Speedway of Nations and Belle Vue Speedway has been bowled over by the response from the Speedway public so far.
The club’s four-day event package was launched ahead of individual meeting tickets, which went live on April 16, to such success that the official website experienced record traffic.
And with the launch of the latter, sales have continued to climb in what is surely the best ticket launch of an FIM event to come to Manchester.
Belle Vue CEO Mark Lemon said: “We’ve been inundated for weeks with messages asking when tickets would be going on sale so we anticipated a large interest in the event ahead of time.
“But I think even we have been surprised by just how eager supporters have been to get their hands on the hottest tickets in Manchester this season, and we’re of course delighted.
“It’s not just our excitement at welcoming the world’s best riders, such as Bartosz Zmarzlik, Freddie Lindgren and Leon Madsen and co to Manchester, but also the international travelling fans as well.
“All eyes will be on the National Speedway Stadium in July and we cannot wait to welcome everyone to the best race track for what is certain to be the most exciting week of Speedway in the UK.”
FIM Speedway World Championships director Laura Manciet commented: “I’m pleased to hear that there has been such a passionate response to the FIM Speedway of Nations’ return to Manchester.
“The National Speedway Stadium is widely regarded as one of the world’s best racetracks and I am sure fans travelling to Manchester from around the world will enjoy an unforgettable week of action.
“Great Britain’s victory in the 2021 FIM SON Final in Manchester will live long in the memory of the home fans in attendance that day, but 14 other countries will be determined to stop the Brits from regaining the title this summer. We cannot wait to see who comes out on top.”
