Newbury Racecourse Expand Complimentary Ticket Offer For Racing Staff In 2025

Newbury Racecourse is pleased to be able to expand their complimentary ticket offering for racing staff in 2025.

2024 saw the Racecourse offer those working within racing the opportunity to claim a complimentary ticket for themselves and a friend at two racedays and in 2025 this same free ticket opportunity will be available at six racedays.

This extended initiative, to support and thank the staff who form the backbone of the horseracing industry, builds on last year’s offer which saw more than 250 free tickets claimed across the two racedays available.

All those who work in the horseracing industry can claim a pair of complimentary tickets to the following six racedays over the coming months:

· Friday 11th April: Dubai Duty Free Spring Trials with Craft Beer Festival

· Thursday 3rd July: Summer Evening Series Raceday with The 70s Disco

· Thursday 10th July: Summer Evening Series Raceday with The Wild Wild West

· Thursday 24th July: Summer Evening Series Raceday with The Ibiza Beach Club

· Friday 24th October: BetVictor Flat Finale with Oktoberfest

· Wednesday 17th December: BetVictor Christmas Raceday

As per last year, those working within racing can request their pair of complimentary tickets simply by clicking the button below and completing a short form.

Shaun Hinds, Chief Executive Officer at Newbury Racecourse said: “We’re keen to make our racing experiences as accessible as possible, especially for those working right at the heart of our sport.”

Last year saw us introduce free ticket offers for racing staff and we’re pleased to be able to extend and expand that offering in 2025.”

“The complimentary tickets are a gesture of thanks from all of us here at Newbury Racecourse to recognise the dedication of racing staff, without whom our wonderful sport would not be possible.’’

George McGrath, Chief Executive Officer of NARS (National Association of Racing Staff), said: “The offer of complimentary tickets to two Newbury meetings in 2024 was well received and the expansion of the scheme is very much appreciated. For 2025 Newbury has extended to six meetings to include great racing, great nights, and great themes. The complimentary

tickets offered by Newbury give the racing staff a chance to share in the experience of racing with family, friends and loved ones. This is so valuable to racing staff as, so few understand the hard work, dedication and skill that goes into getting a racehorse to the racecourse and being able to perform at its best. The opportunity to share the fruits of our labour with our family and friends is so rewarding.”
