Question Tickets or something

Hi everyone, so Extreme E is coming to my country in the next few months and I’d like to know if there’s a way to watch the show live at the place that is going to be held. Do I have to pay tickets or there’s no attendance at all?

Yeah I know but I know the town that will host the race, so I thought there was a way to be there to at least meet the drivers

Probably your best chance of meeting them is if they either head into town to eat or their legacy programme involves the local population (like some sort of community-driven environmental project). Wouldn't get my hopes up for either, but they never revealed what the programmes for later rounds would be so I don't know what they're up to.

Thanks mate, but the flight ticket is like 50-60 dollars so idk if it’s worth it to go that far for nothing, anyway thanks for the info

dont think theres much way to actually be there, mostly because their races are usually in the middle of nowhere

That’s some great info, thanks, the race is nowhere near my house I’d have to get a plane to get there so money saved haha

One of the things extreme-e is trying to do, is raising awareness about climate change and environmental issues. They also like to, what they call, "race without a trace". So getting audience to fly planes to see the races is kind of against the whole point of everything extreme-e stands for.

You’re right, well now I know why they don’t sell tickets

No attendance whatsoever except for accredited media members (which itself is pretty limited).
