So I went to the one in Cpt.
On the whole it was very good. Just a few things that irritated me...
They don't tell you that the field seating (closest to Giganoramp) is set up such that you only see the skateboards, bmx's etc.
That's a major balls-up if you're mainly into FMX, MotoX like I am.
Remember you are sitting on a flat surface with other people in front of you. And you are basically looking up at the landing ramp, you don't get that aerial view.
And most likely, like my case, you have one ramp obstructing your view to the other.
One basically only see the last bit of the MotoX bikes, just before they disappear behind the ramp & land. You can't see the landing. Well that sucked!
Oh and then I paid almost R600 for that crappy seat. But wait, there's more.
Then you get this, what Discovery Health would call, morbidly obese, guy sitting on (erm no wait ...draped over) this plastic chair next to you. You have to lean to one side as the fatass is halfway onto your seat, which you can't move, because they are cable tied together!
So as I was only seeing half the show. After 10minutes I got up and went onto the 1st tier and stood behind one of the disabled people. (It's open access space) I had to stand the whole show, but could watch the WHOLE show. I felt very sorry for the people opting to just stay in their seats. That must have been very disappointing.
So Joburg and Durbs...if you have field seating tickets - flog those ASAP and try and get tickets on the opposite side of the Giganoramp.
