Forward planning that's the key. By booking earlier in the week via its website I was able to obtain a discount on my ticket for Ascot's Country Living Christmas Fair (well done for not spelling it Fayre) raceday. My premier ticket promised me access even to the 4th floor of the stand and cost only £21.
Obviously it is not the Royal meeting, or Champions Day (sponsored by Qatar), but not bad for a day's jump racing at Britain's most prestigious flat course.
I must admit though I was stumped by the myriad of choices I had to choose from as my tite when purchasing my ticket. In all there were 66 choices, including General, General Sir, The Marquess of ...., Reverend, Major the Hon, Earl, Lord (and The Lord) and Rear Admiral. After much consideration I settled for Mr. Presumably it was simply an oversight on the part of the Jockey Club that Mx was not amongst the 66. I sense a Brighton based Facebook campaign hitting Ascot soon.
To be continued if I am allowed in by the famous bowler hatted gatemen. Update - I was see here.
