Tickets Are On Sale for Royal Ascot 2016

We’re just weeks away from Royal Ascot 2016, which will run from Tuesday, June 14^th through Saturday, June 18^th. This is not only the biggest horse racing event in the UK each year, but one of the most important horse racing events in the world.

In 2015, over 293,000 people attended Royal Ascot.  That is 10,000 more people than in 2014.  And that is just counting everyone who showed up to the event in person.  Even more horse racing fans and punters tuned into Channel 4 or watched a live stream of the events.

Tickets for Royal Ascot 2016 are on sale right now.  Actually, Thursday and Saturday are both already sold out completely for both the Windsor Enclosure (previously known as the Silver Ring) and the Queen Anne Enclosure (which used to be known as the Grandstand Enclosure).

You can however still get tickets for the remaining days.  But those tickets are going to sell out fast, so we highly suggest you book immediately if you plan to attend!

What do you do if you do not manage to book Royal Ascot 2016 tickets in time?  Don’t worry, you won’t be left out entirely!  You can still tune in and watch the races on Channel 4.  Many british horse racing betting sites also make live streams of the race events available to punters who are making minimal bets.  There are bonuses and free bets which you can take advantage of as well, so tuning in from home actually has its benefits. 

Attending Royal Ascot in person is an incredible experience that you will treasure for a lifetime.  Many people come back time and again, year after year.  There is nothing quite like the exhilaration of watching the races in person!  On top of that, Royal Ascot is a cultural event unlike any other, a chance to partake of the very finest of British high society.  So if you have the chance to attend in person, do it!
