Still hoping to go this - will buy Tatts or Club. Really, really want to see the Kauto v Denman re-match.
I'd not be too bothered about getting tickets before the day. Experience has taught me that Cheltenham has more touts than I've seen anywhere at all and you'll easily be able to pick up whatever you want without issue.
Don't buy away from the course (eg at the station) though - wait until you get right up to the course - you'll get the best price there - I'd be surprised if you have to pay over face value.
Good luck to you, be aware that these days Chelters has an electronic ticketing system and that means you stick in your ticket in a machine which scans your ticket before you enter.
This means no one tears of the stub, and this means a scanned ticket (if passed back) looks exactly the same as a bona fide unscanned ticket.
Enjoy your day.
I always back Denman as it's a friends surname, hope he returns to form. Always a long and messy day
Return to form? You did see his epic performance in the Hennessy in November? I'm a Kauto man but it was bloody impressive.
I've always had tickets in advance before and would do so again this year - Tatts and Club are still on sale now.
However on previous years people have joined our group after tickets had sold out, and bought from touts without an issue. And yes they were operating the 'electronic ticketing system [where] you stick in your ticket in a machine which scans your ticket before you enter' system then too.
Problems encountered - none.
Another advantage of buying off a tout near the course, of course, is that if there is an entry problem you simply return to Mr Tout, who still be close at hand, and remedy the problem.
Denman running in the Aon Chase at Newbury on Saturday. He'll be heavily odds on (c 1/4), obviously. Lump on to pay for your festival in advance?
