    Cheltenham Festival tickets

    Visitors can choose between various enclosures, each in a different price bracket and offering access to different areas of the racecourse. Here are the enclosures available and how much tickets cost for each one:

    Best Mate – Though you don’t have access to the Parade Ring or views of the preliminaries, the Best Mate Enclosure provides a decent view of proceedings from opposite the main grandstand. What’s more, on the Thursday and Friday, the New Course (where the racing taking place) is closer to the Best Mate Enclosure than to the Tattersalls or Club Enclosures. Ticket prices start from £31.50. Gate price from £70.

    Tattersalls – Marketed as the perfect middle ground between the Best Mate and Club Enclosures, Tattersalls gives you a great view of the racing up the famous Cheltenham hill. Access is afforded to much of the grandstand, the parade and pre-parade ring as well as facilities such as the Guinness Village. Ticket prices start at £46.80. Gate price from £91.

    Club – The best ticket in the house without splashing the cash on hospitality, the Club Enclosure gets racing fans as close to the finishing post as possible. Access to all the areas available to Tattersalls ticket holders, as well as the prime position in the main grandstand, is included. Ticket prices start at £74.70. Gate price from £126.

    Guinness Grandstand – The Guinness Village extends the Tattersalls Enclosure with extra viewing steps, bars, bands and other entertainment. Ticket prices start at £100.

    Racecourse View – Enjoy one of the best views in the racing world with a reserved seat in the Grandstand with view across the finish line. Ticket prices start at £178.

    ​Those wishing to attend multiple days might want to consider an annual membership, which grants access to all four days of the Festival.

    Alongside those options for individuals, there are plenty of group and corporate hospitality options available.

    Hospitality package prices vary depending upon race day and the size of your party, but they start at £375pp and include club admission ticket and food and drink refreshments throughout the day.
