Personal Assistant Information
The eligibility criteria for complimentary personal assistant admission are regularly reviewed and the racecourse reserves the right to update them from time to time. Currently, any individual over the age of 18 who has purchased an entry ticket and receives one of the following benefits are eligible to apply for a free personal assistant ticket:
- Disability Living Allowance (DLA)
- Attendance Allowance (AA)
- Personal Independence Payment (PIP)
- Armed Forces Independence Payment (AFIP)
- Additionally, people who are Registered Blind and/or Deaf are also eligible.
Please note – in all cases, the racecourse reserves the right to decline to accept an application or to request additional evidence if, in the racecourses view and discretion, there is reasonable doubt that the applicant would be at a substantial disadvantage in attending without the personal assistant given the accessibility facilities and services available at the racecourse.
How to apply for Personal Assistant ticket
Please purchase a general admission ticket for yourself in advance. On the day, please bring with you a copy of an official letter which shows that you are in receipt of one of the benefits listed above. This letter must have your address and we also require photographic ID of yourself which confirms the address on the letter.
Those holders of just a Blue Badge are unable to apply for a Personal Assistant ticket.
