Anyone managed to buy tickets this morning?

[andylaight]

Been held in queue since 9am. Usual Goodwood IT fail??

[RichB]

Yes, absolutely perfect. Indeed everyone on the GRRC forum (I assume you're a member) are congratulating the staff on the best ticketing system yet. I was on and done by 9:15 - As a result I've got a free Saturday morning whereas I used to struggle with the system for hours!

What exactly are you trying to do?

[andylaight]

Rich,
It said I needed to buy/renew my GRRC membership before I could buy tickets which seeing as I've had an email from GRRC saying that it had been renewed was a bit odd.
Anyway phoned ticket office, spoke to nice lady, Revival tickets booked including favourite Woodcote seats so all fine now.
Didn't realise till I was told that we got complimentary tickets for FoS.

No, I didn't know that... well we got Thursday Moving Motor show tickets last year. I just ignored the pink banner saying you need to renew because I pay by DD and it turned out to be a warning note rather than a hard stop. Anyway pleased you're sorted.

[andylaight]

Mine's renewed by DD too, glitch in the machine probably.
I was asked if I wanted the FoS tickets and they're shown on confirmation email, might be worth checking you're getting them or were they added automatically, only 9 months to wait now.......

Never managed to get to the Revival, but next year should be OK. Just been on the website and it says I have to be a GRRC member to buy tickets. Is this correct??

General public tickets go on sale next week I'm led to believe.

[Darren390]

Thanks for the info guys, I will check again next week for tickets.

[andylaight]

think it's tomorrow for general public sales

[smithyithy]

12 minutes in the queue so far for me. Never been to GW before, hope I can get tickets

[andylaight]

is that waiting online? I phoned ticket office.

[smithyithy]

Yeah. nearly half hour now.

At my desk so can't really make a phone call, just keeping the tab open in the background, if I haven't got through my lunch I'll pop out and try the phoneline

[ecsrobin]

Unless you are after specific grandstand tickets I'd just hold off until later today or tomorrow. I actually buy many later in the year so never have to wait. Which does remind me I need to buy my tickets for the Members Meeting.

Managed to get 2 regular entry for sunday Revival. From my pc it failed but from my phone on 4G I got straight through. Very excited as this is the 1st one i'll be going to.

Bit of a faff. And only Woodcote tickets unless one wants Roving. Doesn't seem to be any way of getting Chicane tickets.
Managed to choose my Woodcote tickets for Saturday, but somehow ended up with Best Available for Sunday which are Row A. Fine if it's fine. Might be looking to swap those later in the year :}

Edit: when it came to the checkout, I had to wait again... went down to make a cuppa and my Basket had vanished! Couldn't face all that fiddling around again, so I phoned. Much easier, and didn't get Row A this time.

Chicane are GRRC only until some time next year when they're released to public

[Darren390]

Just booked my weekend tickets, excited already! As I'm a Revival virgin, are the grandstand tickets worth the extra money?

Decided not to bring the Mustang so have also booked a pitch for the caravan only 6 miles away, result!

IMO absolutely plus it's shelter if it rains. Others will say you can walk round to the back of the track and watch from the fence.

If it's your first time you'll probably find yourself looking around all the attractions far more than the racing. However if you're there for 3 days why not book 1 or 2 days in the stands. You'll still come away thinking you've missed something.
