Goodwood Festival of Speed Hospitality
Discussion
I should just point out to the OP, that you cannot "buy" your way as such into the corporate/hospitality areas. You get invited into them by whichever company is trying to schmooze you.
Tickets for July 11th were pretty much given away for free as it is primarily a car dealers day - the real action is 12th/13th/14th. The tickets PantherBlack are selling may well be a trackside pavilion lunch, but it'll be Joe Public driving up and down the hill in new cars from selling dealers.

Actually you can "buy your way in" as you say. http://www.goodwood.co.uk/festival-of-speed/hospit...
Admittedly it's not cheap at a starting price your looking at £175pp plus VAT for the basic in comparison chequered flag hospitality near the rally stage, that gets you:
General admission
VIP Parking
Hearty breakfast on arrival
A base throughout the day
Unlimited shuttle service
Afternoon tea with warm pastries
Cash bar facility
The more fancy ones are POA and are minimum of 2 for library lawn and for the more fancy ones tables of 10 or you share the table with other parties.
This is for the library lawn, I can see the price nearer the £300 mark with beer provided all day.
Light breakfast on arrival
Drinks reception
Three-course lunch with 1/2 a bottle of wine
Beer and soft drinks throughout the day
Afternoon tea
Admission tickets
Reserved car parking label
Event programme and Goodwood Radio earpiece

I see your point Escrobin, but as I understand it, these hospitality packages are for companies to buy up and then offer to their guests.
If one can just ring up,as a private individual and buy a couple of tickets then I would be most surprised, but will defer to your knowledge and would admit I was completely and utterly wrong!

The library lawn and chequered flag is aimed more at you and me whilst the other venues are aimed at corporate although if you pockets are deep enough I'm sure they'd be happy to meet your needs.
However your quite right about the Thursday and I can't see any need for hospitality on that day.
I seem to remember that there was an Alfa tent where you could get a drink and nibble if you had a set of Alfa keys on you. Is that still the case? Couple of years ago the Ford stand was very quiet and we were invited upstairs for tea and biscuits after we mentioned that our work cars were mainly Ford (I might have exagerated my role as a sort of "Fleet Manager" a bit).
The point is, you can grab free refreshments if you BS the sales chaps a bit.

Most manufacturers do this - take as many sets of different brand keys as you can get your hands on!The point is, you can grab free refreshments if you BS the sales chaps a bit.
