2007 Epsom Derby Grandstand Tickets Virtually Sold Out Already

The Grandstand Enclosure at Epsom Downs Racecourse on Derby Day is virtually sold out, with only a couple of hundred Grandstand tickets and reserved seat packages left.

Stephen Wallis, Managing Director of Epsom Downs Racecourse, said; "We alerted everybody to the fact that the Grandstand would have a lower capacity than normal due our building programme, and indeed our regular customers have responded earlier than normal because of this. Our safety advisers allowed us to sell more Grandstand tickets than we originally anticipated but even these have now gone."

The Racecourse knew that there would be other regular Derby Day racegoers who want to come, have missed out on the Grandstand, but don't want to go on The Hill. It has therefore created a new improved pedestrian offer in part of the Upper Tattenham Enclosure which will be called the "Tattenham Straight." Tickets for this area cost £15 and are available through our Ticket Office (01372 470047) or online by clicking on the TICKETS option in the left hand column.

The Tattenham Straight pedestrian area will have live music, food and drink with access to the rails and the bookmakers. Within the Tattenham Straight the Racecourse have also created the "Tattenham Picnic Package Area" where racegoers can enjoy both a Carluccio's pre-ordered picnic and picnic tables.

Queen's Stand Memberships are also still available to purchase.

Vodafone Ladies Day is on Friday, 1st June and Vodafone Derby Day is on Saturday, 2nd June. Epsom Downs Racecourse is strongly advising racegoers to book their tickets for both Ladies Day and Derby Day well in advance.
