Just got this email, pay a tenner and you don't have to queue.
Make the most out of your day here at Chester Races by getting in quicker!
We are delighted to offer guests the option to buy fast track entry when buying a County Concourse or Tattersalls ticket. Skip the queues using the priority lane, and have more time to relax and soak up the incredible Chester atmosphere before racing starts.
For just £10 get fast track access to the racecourse.
Come on!

A course ruined long ago by the vile, greedy, management. Water is also highest priced there than any other venue ( some offer it free) - And we never did get to find out the exact nature of the ' personal projects' that the dismissed Richard Thomas used money out of the course piggy bank for.

Chester will need every penny they can get if the ludicrous ideas the bha have come to fruition.

How much for the fast track bar service , burger service and toilet entry?
|

By:
Same with a few discounted airlines (aka Ryanair and Easyjet) charging for priority or speedy boarding; there's often 30 or 40 passengers in the queue, rendering the whole thing a complete waste of money for those at the rear.

even by chester's standards this is the lowest of the low in fleecing . its almost admitting the place is too crowded . why don't they add ' and don't forget once inside you can't actually see any racing !'....i would suggest people vote on this with their feet . either 1) spend the tenner in the architect pub opposite and nip out to the walls for a decent view or b) save your money and go to the dante at york the week after .

... Farcical, Living in Chester I have seen plenty of punters being carried towards the course after
having a skinfull in the Town, most wouldnt know the difference from walking in a "Priority Lane " or the " Fast Lane " on the M6. |

never understood speedy boarding. so you can spend an extra half hour in discomfort?
im always last one on. makes me laff when i see people queueing up for an hour to get on, 20 yards away from where im enjoying a glass of vino. |

By:
Agree with many of the aircraft speedy boarding comments, what i can never understand is passengers actually paying for it
|
|
By:
The only time I have done the speedy boarding thing was with a budget airline which did not have seat reservations, so the last-ons were scurrying to find the worst seats on the plane and finding the overhead lockers already full.
I do not know if that is still a thing - it was a few years ago. |

The whole set-up at Chester is a total pi$$ take.

I've flown with Easyjet and Ryanair often, albeit not so much the latter since i started work in Germany. These days when you book a flight with them, you can pre-select where you want to sit (at cost) and at the same time pay for priority boarding, added baggage, insurance etc etc. If you prefer not to decide a seat number, one will be provided for you when you check in, generally at the rear of the cabin, but not always. I never reserve or pay for seats unless it's KLM or Lufthansa, but i have a frequent flyer cards with them, so it's free |

why would anyone want to be first on a plane?
Sitting down in the plane is better than standing in a the queue to get on. Also different carry on baggage allowance, which is the main reason to book PB if you're flying with Ryanair. |

If you've put your cases in the hold, then you might as well sit down and be last.
