This just in:

I just got done buying my tickets for this year’s AMA Superbike round at Infineon Raceway scheduled for May 2-4. Last year, I paid $45 for the weekend. This year, since Infineon has decided that TicketMaster is the sole source of tickets, I paid $84.40 for the weekend. That equates to a roughly 88% increase, and the service charges totaled over 20% of the tickets’ face value.

Last year’s round at (the formerly named) Sears Point was a great value. This year it’s not.

I don’t know who else to complain to, but since everyone I know who’s into motorcycles and racing reads your magazine, I thought I’d share with you. I’ve sent an e-mail to the person at Infineon Raceway who is in charge of tickets, but since I e-mailed him on a Friday night, I don’t expect to hear back until next week.
