Subsidise or fully pay your series entry by selling weekend passes
We are pleased to confirm this innovative way to subsidise or fully pay your season entry fees by selling weekend passes to friends, Family and Sponsors. How it works:
You sell Weekend Passes to rounds 1,3 or 4 at retail price of $60 and we credit $30 from each ticket sale against your entry fee. Sell 46 and your entry is covered! Sell more and you could pay off the price of your Friday test day also!
Purchasers MUST enter the competitor name they are supporting in the promotional field when booking, so we can track sales and allocate the credit accordingly.
We will advise when the ability to purchase online has been set-up.
