Was going to Wolver tmrow to take advantage of the Free entry, but reading Wolverhampton,s M anaging Directors comments Dave Roberts " Racegoers have had to book tickets to the free fixtures. "If new racegoers turn up on the day will they be made to pay the usual admission price?

load of codswallop they want people to turn up expecting a free entry then being forced to pay ill bet more people end up paying than get free enty and these will mostly be fist time or raqre visitors to racing so will leave a sour taste for them and they wont come back ive spoken to dozens of people who think you just go and get free entry racing for change dont make me laugh

i agree with you, if they stick to that line on the gate it will do more harm than good

must be alot of people that have read it's free without reading the bit about advance registering

More to the point ,will CAR PARK and RACE CARD be free?
Report unbiased April 25, 2010 10:40 AM BST
Imagine arriving at say Ascot for a freebie,and then finding you have to pay £5 for car and £3 for card,maybe X2,so it is important to see if they are free also.

Wolver car park is always free but I doubt you will get a free racecard

Why are they promoting go racing for free at Towcester when its free anyway!?!
Report the artful dodger April 25, 2010 10:54 AM BST
doncaster on friday.tickets are available from the racecourse in advance.if you turn up on the day you need to take with you the free application form which is available to download from the racecourse website.2 free admission tickets are available per application form.without the application form you will not be admited.

Why not promote Towcester being free? The one piece of good news amongst the racecourses' greed.

Also, Huntingdon stated at their last meeting that you need a voucher to get in for free but that these vouchers will be available at the turnstiles too.

I think RFC will be amazed at how many people called Mickey Mouse register.

Towcester wasn't free on Easter Sunday

Great idea - Ascot's my favourite track so free tickets welcomed and they send me e-mails anyway, I get about 30 junk e-mails a day takes a minute to delete them, I can live with that

To be fair Oshun, they have to charge on the premium days to control the crowd sizes on the advice of Health & Safety. I was there at the first free Boxing Day & there must have been near 15,000 people there which just wasnt safe.

At a tenner for good facilities in tatts its still cheaper than anywhere else on the big days.
Report Oshun Fynanse April 25, 2010 11:41 AM BST
I agree. A tenner is still good value but I heard quite a few comments that people were expecting free admission. I'd rather pay a tenner there than £15 upwards at a lot of other places
Report know all April 25, 2010 12:24 PM BST
guarantee someone will be selling the application forms outside doncaster for a couple of quid so they can get in for free

Probably can buy them on ebay.
