Well, I was going to go to this, as a birthday present to myself.

And then I saw the cost of the tickets: £70!

I'll watch it on TV.

I went last year, had grandstand seats. It was alright, a pleasant
enough way to spend a warm summer's evening, but gets a bit samey after
the first 20 minutes.

If I got free tickets, I probably still wouldn't bother going again.

Stupid, that's the air race.

70 quid is an awful lot, makes the 45 quid for a days cricket at Trent
Bridge last Saturday look a bargain.

and the whole spectacle gets more than a little boring, on TV at least.
Eventually one amazing jump is much like another, the pool of competitors is
rather small and the judging reminds me of WWF.
