How to claim your tickets
Tickets are subject to availability and offered on a first come, first served basis. E-tickets will be emailed from Arena Racing Company 2-3 days prior to the event. Children under 18 go free and do not require a ticket in advance, as they will be issued on the day.
Entrants must be over 18 years of age, choose their preferred fixture, and fill in their full name and email address. If successful, an automated email with ticket information will be sent, which may be filtered into junk email inboxes. Anyone who has already purchased tickets for one of the named fixtures will not be eligible for a refund or exchange, and all entrants are limited to one pair of tickets per customer for one fixture only.
Terms and conditions
Free ticket recipients must provide proof of identity on entrance to the fixture venue, alongside the e-tickets provided under the same name. The offer does not include travel, expenses or parking, and there is no cash alternative. Tickets are not for resale, and once redeemed, e-tickets cannot be exchanged for alternative events or dates.
Horse racing is subject to weather, so racecourse websites or social media channels should be checked for updates before travelling. Should a fixture be cancelled, transferred or abandoned, tickets will not be valid for an alternative date, and free ticket recipients are not eligible for refunds for the value of the ticket. All ticket holders are subject to the racecourse terms and conditions of entry.
