    What makes TT uncumparable, is the whole package. - the races-the people- the athmosphere on, and off the races- the effort to get 2 ferries corresponding when travelling from Holland-the shock wave when close to the track, as a bike passes-riding the track-AND THE BEER

    I've been wanting to come to the TT ever since I was 15 years old and I'm 40 now and unfortunately I have just never been able to make enough money to come but i am a true die hard fan. Hopefully one day I'll make enough

      It’s not as bad as you might think if you can get 3-4 people in a car to spilt the ferry and most campsites aren’t overly priced. Look at booking just before this years TT for the year after. I went in 2015 and going back this year you’ll never regret going only not

      Go over as a foot passenger, camp for however long you want, and use the bus on a visitors pass to get around.
      Cheapest way to do it, and loads of fun!

      Seconded. I was living in Florida and it absolutely made my summer that there was loads of content in addition to “live” coverage of practise as well as the actual races.
      Because it’s recorded live and unedited, you can revisit it and you’ve got that “live” feeling. I was five hours behind the clock time on the island, so an evening practise live in U.K. be early afternoon for me.
      It’s an absolute treat, watching every scrap of content, whether live for racing, or prerecorded & made available as soon as they’re done.
      I’ve no shares in the TT, but I regard it as the best small spend I made each year (I think this is only the second year they’ve done the TT+ thing online?)

      Good on ya mate. You’ll love it, it’s incredible.
      Pick a spot you really wanna watch from, and get there very early. All the best spots are rammed. Take a rucksack with a days supplies in it and you’ll be fine. Oh, and a radio! There’s nothing worse than being stuck somewhere with no idea what’s going on, especially if a race is delayed. 👍🏻

    Hi guys I love the TT however it’s not easy to get accommodation and something needs to be done. Last June I booked a whole house and paid for it plus ferry etc. 2 weeks ago my host cancelled I can not get any accommodation anywhere. Also lost my money on the ferry as they won’t let you cancel for the TT. As I now live in Spain I lost the ferry fee from Santander to UK. I think much more investment in infrastructure needs to be made to grow this fabulous event.

      Yes it surprised me when in the video they talk about getting more people there. Ive been 8 times in recent yrs and it is rammed everywhere! if youre under 6ft tall its hard to see any bikes during the race. As you say the infrastructure is not able to take more, even the people that already want to go! 🤘

    I’d love to come to the Isle of Man TT, I’d love to ride the course, but the cost is crazy !!!, It’s become a spectacle, a tourist attraction and the prices are too much…. I’ll bet those campsites on the edge of the track are £50 a day…. It’s a bucket list item for me to watch the TT but IOM costs make it impossible, sorry..

    I've come twice from Oregon and will come again as money allows. Here's my (not real big) secret... The ManxGP in August. Same racers, same bikes, same 37 mile course but... much less people. Less beer? Less rowdy? ManxGP - The paddock is wide open, the teams and riders are so welcoming and open. I've got selfies w/ McPint, Connor, Michael, Johnston, Johnson... Everybody is here. Housing is cheaper, maybe the weather is better? Shhhh.
