Paying extra to go to the races because of live acts on after racing...

Still cheaper than a trip to the massage parlour....

I actually like that group an I'm 52

That Scouting For Girls are on everywhere

they are garbage. hth.

If tracks double the price why don't they have a scheme where racegoers who leave before the concert are given a voucher for free admission to a future fixture?

That should please pretty much everyone except those who have travelled a long way and are infrequent visitors to the track in question.

I agree Banned_Banks. That or paying a little extra after racing to watch/be closer to the band or act.

Well I saw the Beatles, the Ronettes, Del Shannon & Jimmy Tarbuck  all on the same bill for 4 shillings, so would not be interested in seeing these Brownies for Girls for £20 - no chance 

Who on earth are they?

Here's their main hit...

That was awful

The gate receipts shows it works well for the courses.People that are against it are in the minority.
  Same as I wouldn't pay extra,to be extra uncomfortable,for a festival meeting,although,again,gate receipts stand up.
  We have the choice of going on many other days,so why worry about concerts and festivals!

Just goes to prove that the average intelligence of the people that attend these things is depressingly low.

have heard my mum talk about the Beatles but not the foggiest who the rest are...what's a Ronette?

I've never heard of them

A Ronette is the female  partner of a Ron.Simple!

It's the reason I didn't go to Doncaster a few weeks ago and instead chose Thirsk, double the price and a day spent with a load of kids........no thanks!!!

cheers unbiased...i guess that all made sense in the 40s
