Revival first timer

[crystalmethod]

The wife's booked us tickets this year, which should make for a decent wedding anniversary that day.

This may be a dumb question, but how essential are grandstand tickets? I assume we'll need them as most of the action will be viewable from the stands?

Meanwhile if anyone has any other suggestions for a Revival newbie I'd be grateful to know them.

Many thanks!

Grandstands are only needed if you really need them (for mobility issues or otherwise) really... oh and if its raining...

... top tip is head out back to the other side of the track where all the action is and sit on the grass banking... there's great viewing all around the track!

If your only going for one day you will not require grandstand tickets. There will be so much going on you'll be lucky to even get a rest.

It depends on how much you want to spend and if you are going to watch the racing or look at the other attractions. If you go on a Friday you can get a roving ticket into the grandstand, good place to have a rest, have lunch and watch the cars also good if you can see one of the TV screens. But would suggest getting there as early as possible especially if it is your first time there as it takes time to work out where everything is as these is so much to see, some of the is very subtle eg last year early in the morning you could walk across the track and they had a period group workmen with tent pretending to repair the track.

Thanks everyone. Really useful stuff. Appreciate it.

We went last year for the first time and had grandstand tickets. We never saw any racing or indeed a grandstand as there was so much else going on!

This year we haven't bothered with the grandstand tickets
