Royal Ascot Admission Areas
For every meeting at Ascot, we offer a choice of ticket options which vary depending upon the race fixture. We explain below the benefits in each of the areas and the dress codes that apply to help you select the most suitable area for your party attending Ascot Racecourse.
Ascot Racecourse Admission Areas at all race meetings in 2008: excluding Royal Ascot
Premier Admission
The top of the range option, this gives you access to all the best viewing areas and facilities on the course. These are located on Level 4 of the Grandstand and the viewing areas by the Winning Post, both of which are exclusive to Premier Admission badge holders. A Premier Admission badge also allows access to the General Admission area and to the steppings around the Parade Ring.
Premier Admission Dress Code
Both ladies and gentlemen are asked to dress in a manner appropriate to a smart occasion. Many gentlemen wear a shirt and tie with a jacket or suit. Please note that jeans, shorts, t-shirts and sports attire (including football and rugby shirts, sweatshirts and trainers) are not permitted.
General Admission
General Admission provides excellent facilities and viewing areas at ground level. The Parade Ring and track are both within a short walking distance, by crossing the Concourse in the main Grandstand. There are a variety of places to eat, drink and bet – from the bookmakers in the betting ring to the totepool and betting shops in the main Grandstand. Customers in this area do not have access to any of the levels on the upper floors. However, there is the opportunity to upgrade your ticket on the raceday from a General Admission ticket to a Premier Admission ticket if you would prefer to use the facilities that are on Level 4, when agreeable.
All accompanied children aged 16 and under have FREE entry to the racecourse. There is no need to purchase a ticket however proof of age may be required.
General Admission Dress Code
Whilst we encourage racegoers to wear smart clothes no formal dress code applies except that bare chests are not permitted at any time.
