For the ultimate Isle of Man TT experience you must watch at least one session from TT Grandstand in Douglas. This iconic building offers unrivalled views of the start/finish line and the 170mph-plus stretch as the racers complete one circuit and blast towards Bray Hill and another lap of the course.

You also have clear views of the pit lane, where races have been won and lost, and the podium where the top three from each race will receive their trophies, laurels and champagne.

The TT Grandstand is adjacent to the paddock, where you can watch the teams at work and meet some of the competitors. The Grandstand is also home to the scrutineering area, where you can watch the machines being inspected, press centre, where the top riders are grilled after each race, and much more.

Behind the TT Grandstand you will find a wide range of refreshments on offer, toilets and shops selling TT and other motorcycle-related merchandise, including clothing, pictures, DVDs and more.

There’s also ample parking within easy walking distance of the TT Grandstand.

2012 tickets for Grandstand seating as well as the exclusive TT VIP Club will be on sale through the iomtt.com shop.

Five spectacular spectator areas have been designated as ‘Fan Zones’ for the 2012 Isle of Man TT , fuelled by Monster Energy, and each will have a temporary grandstand. The grandstands will have capacity of between 200 and 300 seats each, supplementing the main TT Grandstand on the start/finish line on Glencrutchery Road.

The five areas have been selected for their stunning views of the on track action and represent some of the fastest points on the course. As well as a temporary grandstand, each with around 200 seats, they will also feature catering and toilet facilities, free WiFi, free parking and enhanced PA systems relaying the Manx Radio TT live race commentary.

The five – Crosby Jump, Rhencullen, Ballacrye, Ginger Hall and Creg-ny-Baa – are all iconic spots with clear views of the action. Crosby Jump sees riders routinely clocking 180mph as they tackle the crest in the road; Rhencullen, situated north of Kirk Michael, is one of the most spectacular sections of the course, while Ballacrye – a double apex taken in sixth gear - is widely recognised as one of the most demanding points on the course.

The final two ‘Fan Zones’, both next to famous pubs, are two of the most recognisable landmarks on the course – Ginger Hall at the edge of Sulby village and the Creg-ny-Baa at the end of the Mountain section of the course. The Grandstand at Ginger Hall offers a clear view of the riders tackling the late apex lefthander on the way into Ramsey, while spectators at the Creg will see the riders as they approach from Kate’s Cottage and the sweeping run downhill into Brandish.

Isle of Man Tourism Political Member Geoff Corkish said:

“Fans will always have their favourite spots, but as the TT audience grows we want to make sure that spectators have a wide choice of options for watching the races. Demand for tickets for the Glencrutchery Road Grandstand increases every year and it is likely to have sold out by Christmas so we were keen to offer fans an alternative. We have conducted research that indicates fans are looking for these kind of facilities, and I am delighted we are able to bring them on line in time for TT 2012.”

Tickets for the fanzones, including guaranteed grandstand seat, are available for each of the four race days – June 2, 4, 6 and 8 – and are priced at £25 or £20 for midweek races. They will also be open for final practice with a £5 charge.
