Ticets:
Tickets for the two superspecial stages of the 2010 Vodafone Rally de Portugal (May 27th and 30th), at Estadio Algarve, are now on sale.
One of the main changes for this year's rally is the night-time superspecial stage on the first day, Thursday 27 May at 8.30pm. This is a much more convenient time for rally fans who work on a Thursday and will allow even more spectators to visit the heart of the rally.
The second superspecial stage on Sunday 30th May will retain its familiar schedule, starting at 1.55pm. The rally organisers are working on an even more exciting warm-up show for both stages than previous years, increasing the interest for the spectators.
Tickets are on sale at BP filling stations across Portugal, at a cost of € 20 for each superspecial stage or € 28 for two tickets (same day or different days). This also includes 1500 points added to the buyer’s BP Premier Plus Card.
For rally fans visiting the event from outside Portugal, online ticket sales will be available from this site until 14th May. Online ticket purchases will be sent by registered mail until 10th May, with an extra cost of € 5 to cover delivery. After that date, they will be available for collection from the ticket office at Estadio Algarve, from 12.00am to 8.00pm (May 27th to 29th) and from 10.00am to 2.00pm on Sunday, May 30th. Payment can be made either by credit card or bank transfer.
Any queries can probably be answered by looking at the FAQ section of the website, where you will also find a complete list of BP petrol stations selling tickets. For any other questions not covered by the FAQs, please email bilhetes@acp.pt
