Sunday Times FOS tickets

[TheGreatSoprendo]

Does anyone know whether the Sunday Times are doing their usual free tickets for the Friday this year?

[boycieboy]

It was around the 8th June last year that they advertised the free tickets, if you are registered with Times online you should (maybe) get an email confirming the offer?
So only a few more days to wait until they (hopefully) are offered

As per the last 3 years I'll be keeping an eye on this thread.

[Porlock]

Yes well worth keeping an eye on.

Anyone got any idea what's happening with these? Haven't seen anything yet

[Mutton]

Still too early I reckon, what with the Festival being in mid July this year.

Website has gone 404. Let's hope that means it's being updated

[mike360]

any updates? sunday times had a goodwood section in it today.

[condor]

I got the impression that they weren't going to be issuing free tickets

Someone has asked the question in the comments section, so we might get an update later.

Yep, there was an FOS supplement yesterday, but no mention of free tickets at all, so I would take that to mean they won't be doing it this year. I guess the FOS is now so popular that they no longer need to give away thousands of free tickets...

And there was way too many young children last year and adults too over crowded

bds aren't we

TBH most children are at school on the Friday so I see very few there on the free tckt days, and that's regardless of the fact that young children (under 12) don't pay anyway on any day, so can't see how the free tckts make any effect on them.

One pressumes you are keeping my freebie ticket safe and sound TC?

[newbe]

this pretty much confirms there is no free tickets (at least for the time being) as explains about prices & days
