2007 Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000, 4

22/03/2007: Some of the most sought after sporting tickets in the land go on sale on April 2 allowing Australians the early chance to secure their place on the Mountain for the Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000.

The legendary Australian icon at Mount Panorama from October 4-7 celebrates its 45th year in 2007, marking some of the greatest years, milestones and moments in sporting history.

One of those was last year with the emotional tribute to the great Peter Brock when 193,000 fans turned out to pay their last respects and prodigy Craig Lowndes with team-mate Jamie Whincup held aloft the Peter Brock Trophy for the first time.

With V8 Supercars going from strength to strength and a record amount of television with new broadcast partner Seven, the Supercheap Auto Bathurst 1000 is set for another memorable year.

“It truly is one of the world’s greatest sporting events,” said V8 Supercar Events General Manager Shane Howard.

“It’s not just a race. It’s an experience. It’s an amazing atmosphere, and for those that get to experience it live, it’s an event that they never forget.”

Again some 32,000 people will camp on the Mountain itself while extra grandstands, dedicated family areas and the popular motor home park will all return.

On the track the Fujitsu V8 Supercar Series will headline the support program guaranteeing plenty of action throughout the four-day mega carnival.

V8SCE is rewarding regular grandstand patrons with the opportunity to purchase their exact 2006 seats prior to public sale.

The priority period will run from 9am Monday 2nd April through to 7pm Sunday April 15 2007.

Tickets for the opening period will be the same price as last year’s. Tickets will only be available from call centres and outlets. Customers will not be able to purchase tickets via the Internet during this priority period.

In order to receive the same seat allocation as 2006 customers will either need to know their account number or the exact name of the person who purchased the tickets last year. You cannot order any extra tickets or change seat allocation during this period.

Any remaining grandstand seats will be released for sale Monday April 16th through Ticketek 132 849, all Ticketek outlets and online at www.ticketek.com.au
