It may only say that, but I wouldn't be surprised to see the article finishing with "...and we have xxx pairs of tickets to give away!".

Hmmm, looked back it seemed in 2005 (when I last went) they offered the tickets up 3 weeks before:

Not looking too hopeful at the moment frown

15000 tickets will be given away and details in this weeks Sunday Times.

I have just received an e mail from the Times, confirming this.

Didn't say which day they would be for though.

Usually this has been on the Friday.

My first post......whoopee!

Somewhat pisses me off this, good luck to those who get free tickets but as I paid for mine back in January I feel somewhat cheated. Don't think I'll bother buying one from the Goodwood Club in future.

Haven't bought a Friday tckt ever I don't think. They have possibly made something of a rod for their own back with it - keep giving away tckts each year means not that many people will buy them, therefore a risk of having a day without many people there, so they have to give them away ... and so the loop continues.

Are you registered with the Time online? I am and didn't get an email.

Still, good news indeed smile Anyone know if you have to buy the paper or will it be an online thing?

Nope. I was at least hoping they would confirm my entry into the draw. So I tried again but the site refused, saying I had already entered so I guess we'll find out for sure on Wednesday if we're successful smile

The Times website now says that all tickets have been allocated.

Has anyone received confirmation of their ticket allocation?

I think that they probably have an automatic cut-off on the 15k or whatever the figure was if it is now saying "no more". Should mean that if your application went through then you WILL be getting a pair of tckts through - don't think I have had confirmations in previous years either, tckts have just arrived.

Did you get an application in then Dan or was that your first attempt?
