    Bribes so they don't complain about noise

      More like an insult to anyone who can’t take it, the decibel levels questionably pass what people can tolerate.

          I’m sorry about your business, but a personal gripe doesn’t warrant a neg.

          Try running a business in the evening when people flock to the markets for drinks and food or the night before.

        • smartazz104 on 22/02/2024 - 09:15

          Strange that most of their customers only seem to be able to drive into the city to visit these businesses.

          sth melbourne market traders take a hit due to changed traffic conditions

          i'm sure many of them rocked up after the GP moved there…

      F1 cars are not loud like they used to be. V8 SC’s are louder…

      noise isn't the biggest concern

      it's getting in and out the suburb, plus crowds of people, plus the whole area fenced off with a disgusting black fence for good part of 2 months

      least they can do to make up for all this

      • TightAl on 22/02/2024 - 10:05

        The crowds are for a weekend essentially. Really?

        • shabaka on 22/02/2024 - 10:35

          I live across the road from the track. crowds are for the week, not just weekend. fencing off, closing of the Lakeside drive, and overall traffic clusterfok is there for 1.5 months at least, at random times and places

    • RiseAndRuin on 22/02/2024 - 10:29

    Great I have to listen to the tiny spaceships and I don't even get a free ticket out of it. (On the edge of the next suburb.)

    The circuit at Albert Park has been used for motor racing since 1953.

      • johnno07 on 22/02/2024 - 07:59

        Not sure when you were a kid, but the Aussie GP has been held every year at Albert Park since 1996 (aside from a couple of COVID years).

        GP sold out extremely quickly. But Thursday is a boring day, hence spare tickets

        grand prix they need to give away

        bro how about actually reading up before you start spieling BS.

        GP sold out in 30 minutes for this year. 21st March isn't even an F1 day, but a support race day.

        Lol, way more people pay to attend Albert Park GP, and I'd guess pay a lot more on average too. Hilariously out of touch.

        This could be a sweetener, If this group are an influential base for securing votes for next elections.

      • GeneralSkunk on 22/02/2024 - 14:00

        Yeah. I mean they don’t have to live there next to an F1 track?

        • Franc-T on 22/02/2024 - 16:22

          In all fairness I can understand that people who were there before resent it, but you are that close to the city you will be influenced by events…plus have the options of selling and rebuying, values aint going down

      • koalabargains on 22/02/2024 - 19:10

        90% of people who live in those suburbs are renters..

      the final day gets crowded, hence no free tickets, the other days it’s a bit empty so makes it look better, like when at work they ask people to sit at the front so meeting looks full on teams. if you want more people and that needs free tickets unless corporates tickets who book booths so hand out free tickets to clients but that includes food and drink, used to go, eat drink and then go home but work has clamped down on accepting gifts and we need to declare on gift register. working from home i have food and booze already, fridge is easier walk than travel 3 km to albert park.

        Saturday a bit empty lol

      • johnno07 on 22/02/2024 - 08:02

        It sounds like the real reason you're salty about the GP is that you don't get free tickets anymore.

      • casho on 22/02/2024 - 08:53

        Saturday stands sold out in minutes, empty, lol

      Docklands isn't included. I live in Docklands but Postcode is 3008.

      Docklands is km's away, you really hearing the cars?

    Just note that they don't run F1 cars on the Thursday. You'll see a bunch of other cars drive but no F1 ones.

    • johnno07 on 22/02/2024 - 08:03

      Thursday is actually a fun day to go as hardly anyone else is there and you can go basically anywhere you want. Also the Porches and Supercars are fun to watch!

  • Scott-230 on 22/02/2024 - 08:27

    They have been doing this for a few years now and I actually think its a great little "thank you" to the locals.

    I live right next to the park and walk the dog there every day and the setup this year has been immaculate compared to previous years, we are only a few weeks away and most of the park is still 100% pristine and useable.

    I honestly don't get the hate. Its a huge event for Melbourne and its really not that bad, this is just a nice little cheap way for them to keep the locals happy.

    • RiseAndRuin on 22/02/2024 - 10:36

      I honestly don't get the hate.

      If you live anywhere South and have to drive North for work, you would suffer an extra 1-2h in traffic every day for a couple of months at a minimum. I'm sure everyone would be happy about it.

      • Ademos on 22/02/2024 - 11:25

        Only if you're an idiot. If there's a 1 hour delay down st kilda road, loop north.

    Melbourne GP in 2023 sold 444,631 tickets vs Tay Tay 288,000 ; guess who gets the most media love? GP is a huge boost to the economy

      except Tay Tay's tickets were a lot more than the GP

        Were they? $379 A reserve right? Stand tickets for GP just on raceday (Sunday) are $350 to $525. More if you want extra days. But yes agree general admission for GP is $149

        not directly, no. But many businesses would and the income it generates state-wide.

      Except the GP stole $60+ million from Victoria

      https://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/motor-sport/mclaren-pulls…

      These free tickets are just a media stunt and bribe.

      • CheapBrah on 22/02/2024 - 13:02

        I think you need to check the definition of "stole". Enforcing a contract isn't stealing, in fact it's the opposite. If you don't agree with it you're better off blaming whoever negotiated that contract for Victoria.

  • helnandez on 22/02/2024 - 09:04

    Nothing left.
    How can I get a park pass on Sunday?
    From memory it was fairly easy to get one and shows all sold out

    • casho on 22/02/2024 - 09:09

      Waaaaaaaaaaaaay too late. Since Drive to Survive series the GP sells out very very fast. Most stands barely last an hour. They do releasea few more stand seats every now and then. But general admission goes fast

    • TexasVujicic on 22/02/2024 - 11:21

      since Covid/Drive to Survive you won't find tickets easy. sell out super quick. i think theres a resale section but it's a waiting list and you'll be pretty far at the back of the line.

  • tp0 on 22/02/2024 - 10:13

    Pretty rough that 3181 (Windsor) isn't included despite being 330m from the track.

  • Bandit74 on 22/02/2024 - 11:23

    Easy to edit an address on a PDF bill … not that I would suggest anyone doing that :-P

    • mulishajp on 22/02/2024 - 12:37

      a utility bill accompanied by an ID showing your name i think you missed that part haha

      • jjjaar on 22/02/2024 - 13:10

        Yeah so edit the PDF utility bill to show an address in the area with your name on it, and take your passport? Also not suggesting anyone do this.

        • Bandit74 on 22/02/2024 - 17:20

          Just says "ID showing your name" - not even specifying a Photo ID. A bank card has your name on it or Medicare card - no address

      • sh4hp on 22/02/2024 - 13:41

        But what if I am boarding with a friend?

  • girafficlight on 22/02/2024 - 14:20

    can't you change your address on the government website without any proof, then get the government stickers and pop em on your license?

  • Jigram on 22/02/2024 - 14:51

    Fine, for that particular day I won’t complain like the unbearable NIMBY I am.

    I do hate how much it ruins the park and golf course. Albert Park Lake could be something very special but it’s poorly managed.

  • jimmyjamesjimmy on 22/02/2024 - 15:35

    Can this only be done on the day?
