Admission Tickets

Disabled customers are entitled to one free ticket for their carer with one full price adult ticket. To obtain a carer ticket in advance, a copy of your DLA document should be sent to the Ticket Office, either by scanning and emailing a copy to ticket.office@goodwood.com or sending a copy in the post to: Ticket Office, Goodwood Motor Circuit, Goodwood, Chichester, West Sussex, PO18 0PH. The copy will then be kept on file should you wish to purchase tickets in the future. It is recommended that all carer tickets are obtained in advance of the event to avoid disappointment on sell out race meetings.
