Singapore, 24 May 2010 - Hospitality sales for the 2010 FORMULA 1 SINGTEL SINGAPORE GRAND PRIX tickets have had a strong start. With more than four months still to go before the race, 67% of the hospitality inventory has already been taken up.
The hospitality inventory consists of Paddock Club, Sky, Club and Green Room passes situated at optimal viewing locations around the circuit park.
Outside of the Paddock Club, the most popular facilities have been the Pit Straight, Turn 1 Sky Suites and Turn 2 Club Suites. The Green Room, first introduced last year at Turn 3, was extended to new locations at Turn 1 and Turn 2 for 2010, and remains a popular choice. The Green Room at Turn 2 is already fully sold out.
“Each year we refine and improve the hospitality experience based on customer research and feedback. For 2010, we introduced a range of product enhancements by revising menus, offering more options for customisation, upgrading facilities and providing a dedicated entertainment line-up for hospitality guests," said Colin Syn, Deputy Chairman of Singapore GP Pte Ltd.
To meet the strong demand, race promoter Singapore GP will be increasing the available hospitality inventory by 5% from the previously announced 10,000 tickets to 10,500 tickets per day.
“It is great to see such a large number of clients who joined us in 2008 but missed last year’s race back again in 2010. Feedback on the numerous improvements made to all the hospitality offerings have been overwhelmingly positive and will contribute to an even more memorable guest experience,” said Darren Chen, Director of Corporate Sales, Singapore GP.
To ensure that guests continue to enjoy top-notch hospitality service, Singapore GP is also increasing the number of Suite Ambassadors hired this year. The elite crew, which are specially trained for the event, have had rave reviews over the last two years.
Of last year’s guests 96% commented that the overall service rendered at the hospitality suites was excellent, with many clients asking for the same Suite Ambassadors to return to their suites this year.
The three-day hospitality passes for the 2010 FORMULA 1 SINGTEL SINGAPORE GRAND PRIX are priced from S$3,500 for the Green Room to S$8,000 for the Formula One Paddock Club™ ticket.
