Badge Allocation & Car Parking

For the comfort and benefit of everyone using the owners’ facilities, the maximum number of Owners badges that will be allocated to any runner is x12.

Owners Badges & Hospitality – Standard Allocation Per Runner

Each declared runner is allocated up to six complimentary Owners badges, which include a complimentary hospitality voucher each. Moreover, up to six additional Owners badges per runner may be purchased at a price of £40 each, again including the complimentary hospitality, or for £25 per badge without hospitality.  The hospitality vouchers may be redeemed in the Owners & Trainers Stand, where a delicious selection of hot and cold food will be available. These vouchers cannot be redeemed anywhere else and nor do they have any monetary value.

Alternative Owners Badge Allocation – swap hospitality for additional Owners badges

If no hospitality is desired an owner may swap each of their six complimentary hospitality vouchers for an additional complimentary Owners badge instead, i.e. therefore a runner may receive up to x12 complimentary Owners badges.

If more than 12 badges are required …… discounted Premier badges option

If any ownership groups require additional badges above and beyond the maximum allocation of 12 owners badges per runner, then Premier Enclosure badges may be purchased at the discounted rate of £20 for feature meetings or £15 for midweek/evening meetings, subject to availability and provided always that the names of those entitled to purchase the discounted Premier Enclosure badge/s are provided to the racecourse office in advance of the gates opening.
