You can still buy tickets to attend Royal Ascot 2016, but they are all sold out for Thursday and Saturday.  You can however get tickets for the Queen Anne Enclosure and Windsor Enclosure for Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday.

Attending Royal Ascot in person is an unforgettable experience.  If you have never done it before and have a chance to do it this year, it is definitely something you should think about.

If you are unable to make it in person, you can still participate by watching on Channel 4 and betting online!  Many of our recommended british betting sites have excellent bonuses and promotions for Royal Ascot 2016.  This is a great time to snag some free bets, so you should take advantage. 

In some ways it is advantageous to watch and wager from home.  You can bring a mobile device with you to Royal Ascot 2016, and there is free wi-fi, but technically betting on your mobile at the stands is not allowed.  That means that if you attend in person, you will either need to wager at the windows or bet from a location where using your mobile for that purpose is allowed.  Betting at home is a lot more convenient, fast, and easy!  Whatever you decide to do, you now have the schedule and can tune in at the right date and time to catch the most exciting races!
