Question

What is the silver ring at Royal Ascot and why is it cheaper than General admission?

Answer 1

Basically the cheapest of the cheap. Not a very good position. Bit like the old Upper/Middle and working class!

Answer 2

If you are in the SIlver Ring at Royal Ascot you will not have access to the paddock or the main grandstand.  You will be able to see the track and there are places to eat/drink etc.  There is no formal dress code, but you are encouraged to dress smartly - the only rule is no bare chests at anytime.

Basically, as with anything in life, you get what you pay for.  

Personally I don't see any point in going somewhere like Royal Ascot and then getting the cheapest tickets possible.  Make the effort and soak up the atmosphere!

Answer 3

Its cheaper as its about half a mile from finishing line,impossible to see finish..Would not waste my time there ,go Tatts,or members,only bit more money..
