tickets for aintree

sc86

looking for advice
going to aintree grand national day

the prices of the tickets varies alot
can anybody shed some light of which are best

is it worth spending the extra?

chancer007

will be crowded GN day
good tickets are expensive,way more so than cheltenham
zero comfort with the cheap tickets.like watching from a crowded terrace
if i ever go again...i'll buy the decent tickets

sc86

fantastic thanks

the options left are 52stg -- 85 stg or 115stg

you reckon go 115 stg tickets ?

chancer007

i think if you go for the good tickets, you will will have that bit better viewing facilities
its like club & tatts in cheltenham...you pay that bit extra for club,access to better viewing & less packed bars

thats what i was hope somebody would say

just some events sell diff price tickets for essentially the same thing

Go on the Thursday and go in Queen Mother Stand

Best view by a mile from there and the most Grade 1's on any day - even more than Cheltenham I think

Why not come over for the meeting in October or the one end of November to see the layout

Will be very quiet for them meetings and you can then decide for National day

we arrive the friday so the saturday suits best to go
i know its not ideal as it will be very busy but hey its a once in a lifetime trip!

You will get them outside very easily or on Gumtree

The touts bought them all in minutes as there was no limit on the number you could buy.

thanks

lads is it easy like cheltenham to just walk into the more expensive areas? I always buy tatts and walk in and out of club no bother at cheltenham. unless i clean up the day before and no longer care about 30 pounds!!!

Certainly not on the Thursday

If your plans this far out hinge around spending an extra few quid or sneaking into the better enclosure maybe grand national day is best watched on the tv.

no plans yet, nothing hinging on anything and dont plan on sneaking around anywhere. its fairly handy at cheltenham to just walk in and out so pointless spending extra 30 or so sterling imo and just wondering if its the same

You can slip in to the grandstand enclosure handy enough if you have a bit of neck. Wear a suit. Slip in beside the rails bookmakers.
