Admission & Dress Code

General Admission ticket

The General Admission ticket at Royal Ascot provides similar access facilities around the racecourse as it does at the race meetings outside of Royal Ascot. The General Admission ticket provides excellent facilities and viewing areas at ground level and lawn level. General Admission customers can watch the Royal Procession and the racing action from the lawns in front of the Grandstand. The Pre-Parade Ring, 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 the upper levels of the grandstand. Unlike the race meetings outside of Royal Ascot, there is not the opportunity to upgrade your ticket.

Other highlights of a General Admission ticket include:

Over 1,000 free seats are available from which to view the racing.
Big Screen TVs on the Plaza Lawn.
Military Bands performing in the Parade Ring before the Royal Procession each day.
Traditional sing-along around the Bandstand after racing on each day. Free song books provided.
Food outlets selling a variety of value for money cuisine options.

Customers in this area do not have access to the upper levels of the grandstand. Unlike the race meetings outside of Royal Ascot, there is no opportunity to upgrade your ticket.

General Admission Dress Code
Ladies with a General Admission ticket are required to dress in a manner appropriate to a smart occasion. Many wear hats although this is not compulsory. Gentlemen in the General Admission area must wear a shirt and tie, preferably with a suit or jacket. Sports attire, jeans and shorts are strictly forbidden.

Silver Ring ticket
With a less formal atmosphere, the Silver Ring at Ascot is a separate admission area that does not provide access to the Parade Ring or the main Grandstand. The Silver Ring still provides an excellent position to watch the Royal Procession and the racing action. There are a variety of places to eat, drink and place a bet.

Other highlights of a Silver Ring ticket include:

Over 2,000 free seats available from which to view the racing.
Big Screen TVs.
Live music entertainment each day.
Lawned area with many bars and food outlets.

Silver Ring Dress Code
Whilst we encourage racegoers to wear smart clothing, no formal dress code applies.
