Going for F1? Stay home la.....

SINGAPORE: People fishing for a quick buck have cast their eyes on the latest happenings in town - the F1 race this weekend.
More than 300 tickets have been spotted for sale on popular auction websites such as Ebay just days before the race is flagged off this Sunday.
One listing is offering a three-day pit grandstand ticket for more than S$2,000.
That's some S$600 above the official price of S$1,400.
However, a large number of the tickets sold online are going for as much as 60 per cent below the official price.
But some have said that they would prefer to watch the race in the comfort of their own homes.
One respondent said: “I guess the only tickets worth buying will be the ones over the pitstop if I can afford it. If you get seats anywhere else even at the turn, you'd probably be seeing the cars for a couple of seconds and back to the screen anyway, so might as well watch from home.”
“I would prefer to stay at home, reason being that I can watch it in the comfort of my own home, and not squeeze with all the people as well as be in air-conditioned environment,” said another respondent.
Several of those who're selling their F1 tickets online stated in their postings that they're selling them because the tickets are gifts or simply because they're unable to make it.
But this is making Singapore GP frown. It said it has been monitoring these attempts to re-sell tickets.
The practice is prohibited. Under the official purchase terms and conditions, tickets may not be resold or transferred for free or otherwise.
Singapore GP has served legal notice on at least one website for reselling F1 tickets and are in the midst of gathering more evidence against several more. -
