Royal Ascot?

Question

I am planning to go to Royal Ascot for Ladies day. What is the difference between silver ring and general admission?

Answer 1

General Admission ticket

The General Admission ticket at Royal Ascot provides similar access facilities around the racecourse as it does at the race meetings outside of Royal Ascot. The General Admission ticket provides excellent facilities and viewing areas at ground level. The Parade Ring and track are both within a short walking distance, by crossing the Concourse in the main Grandstand. There are a variety of places to eat, drink and bet – from the bookmakers in the betting ring to the totepool and betting shops in the main Grandstand. Customers in this area do not have access to the upper levels of the grandstand. Unlike the race meetings outside of Royal Ascot, there is not the opportunity to upgrade your ticket.

General Admission Dress Code

Ladies are required to dress in a manner appropriate for a smart occasion. Many wear hats, although this is not obligatory. Gentlemen are required to wear a shirt and tie, preferably with a suit or jacket. Sports attire, jeans and shorts are not permitted.

Silver Ring

With a less formal atmosphere, the Silver Ring at Ascot is a separate admission area that does not provide access to the Parade Ring or the main Grandstand. The Silver Ring still provides an excellent position to watch the Royal Procession and the racing action. There are a variety of places to eat, drink and place a bet.

Silver Ring Dress Code

Whilst we encourage racegoers to wear smart clothing, no formal dress code applies except that bare chests are not permitted at any time.
