Goodwood Festival of Speed 2017 - Which tickets to buy?

[Rick_BTG]

Hi everbody,

I'm from the Netherlands and I'm planning on going to Festival of Speed for the first time. The plan is to attend all 4 days, and I'm looking at which tickets to buy.
The most obvious choice would be to buy the 'Admission Only'-Weekend-tickets at £154. Another option would be to upgrade to 'Weekend Admission and Grandstand Package' at £284.

My question is: is the 'Grandstand-Package'-upgrade worth the extra money?

I hope someone can clarify this for me.

Thanks for the helpfull answers.

Another question: what is the best time to go to the festival? I read that the carpark opens at 6.30 a.m...
Is it neccesary to go this early to get a decent parking spot and not having to wait in line for hours?

I'm assuming that it doesn't really matter at what time you enter the festival ground, because you'll be walking around anyway.

Anytime before 8am should avoid the major traffic. Do you know where you're commuting from as there may be some tips we can share on the best route to take.

Make sure you get up to the rally paddock, if you're fit enough I'd avoid the tractor trip as you'll get dusty, a bad back and potentially a long wait.

From what I can tell right now, we're having a hotel in the Portsmouth area. Any tips on the best route would be great!
