yep free for under 12's, been taking mine for last few years - gonna get expensive when they come of age, thankfully a few years to go yet.

Cheers guys, found this statement in the FAQ's:
"Who in my family needs a ticket?
Each person aged 13 years and over will need a ticket. Children aged 12 years and under do not need an admission ticket. If you are buying grandstand tickets, you would need to buy a grandstand ticket for your child who must be accompanied by an adult. There are no special rates at present for students or senior citizens. Admission will only be allowed if the ticket and its counterfoil are complete at the time of entry. For more information please telephone [phone] or Click here to email us."

I still have one ticket for Friday. No money to me, just a donation to charity if poss (Hospice in the weald).

This was a Times freebie.

Email and will post first class tomorrow.

[Hyperion]

eBay last year had 100's of Friday tickets going for pennies...this year there is only a handful.
This leads me to two possible conclusions...
1. The tickets will arrive today or tomorrow (Thursday) in an effort to stop people selling them.
2. I've been unlucky.

Of those that have tickets - where did you get them from?
I know a few people who got them from their Times subscription.

They all seem to want £30 on eBay I'm doubting any of them can deliver quick enough for friday too (i.e. arrive tomorrow)

[gumballer]

call the ticket office, i bet the ticket office at the circuit will be open on the friday, so you could drive down and buy them then, or they might be able to have them waiting for you... bon chance!

[Jimi7]

Just to confirm that the ticket office will still be selling tickets up until 6pm on the day before for each day. So 6pm Thursday for Friday tickets, 6pm Friday for Saturday tickets and 6pm Saturday for Sunday tickets.

These are now for collection on the gate and is really easy to use.

Cheers, hope this helps

two tickets were sent first class today.

[jimpritchard]

Just got an email from the Sunday Times saying "better luck next year" quite pleased as I brought a pair on ebay at the weekend.....

[Rotten Egg]

Anyone else want a pair of tickets for Friday ?

My neighbour can't go and has offered them to me.

The best I can do is drop them in the post tomorrow first class.

Well, I had an excellent day out but took 20 mins to get into Goodwood. Apparently a batch of 8000 tickets had gone missing and included in the 8000 were the 3000 tickets issues by the Times! No idea how the cock up happened but very embarrassing standing at the entrance with security asking me for my name and address as I did not have the letter that the tickets arrived with!

To be fair to security they were very good but by the time I managed to get through the gate there was a queue of about 20 people with Times tickets standing behind me waiting to be interviewed!

[cadmanuk]

I too was questioned by security who said that my tickets were fraudulent!
I was asked how I came by the tickets, if I had paid for them and if I had given any bank details,
or had I collected the tokens in the Sunday Times. I said that I supplied my details via a web link given on Pistonheads and received free tickets in the post.
But it doesnt make sense, why would someone produce free tickets that cost them money to send out!
If its to clone my details then why go to the effort of sending out the tickets?
This must be a mix up? It spoilt the start of my day and the enjoyment of the event wondering if
I had given out any greater personnel information than just my name & address.
However FOS was still as good as ever!

[DamienCBR]

Did not say a word to me. I did take the letter just in case but just gave them two tickets and the wife and i walked in with the little one.
