SM 2015 Goodwood weekend

Since we have a load of our French friends coming over next year to attend the Goodwood Revival, I've been speaking to Goodwood and sorting out a number of things with them. Due to various other events being planned as part of the 2015 extravaganza, we are looking at Saturday for Goodwood. The hospitality packages are positively eye-wateringly expensive, and so we have two main options:

1. General entrance ticket only
2. Entrance ticket plus grandstand

So, here are the prices for the 2015 event:

Entrance ticket - £70
Grandstand package - £138
Grandstand only to add to entrance ticket - £56

...but the nicest grandstands are not part of the package and cost another £68!


So, my proposal is we just get the simple entrance tickets, as there's so much to see anyway that a grandstand seat for an hour is poor value IMHO.


I have a certain number of tickets already reserved... Now we all know that this event will sell-out on the day the tickets go on general sale, and that day is Thursday this week (6th November).

As soon as you can, please add your name to the list with number of tickets required. We will need money for these tickets in the next couple of weeks:

Macaroni + 1 x 16yo and 1 14yo.

What do we do as a club at the Revival?

As a club? Not a lot - it's just one of the best motoring days out going.... Most of the cars we have are far too modern to be part of Goodwood.

Friday and Sunday will be all club activities ;)

It is a great day, I usually alternate it with the FoS. I just wondered what the benefits were of buying tickets through the club.

Just a point to note. Accommodation close to the estate is already sold out as most visitors have repeat bookings...the snooze boxes and camping go very quick too.

Yep - so they are.... Makes a bit of a mockery of the email they sent a few days ago!

All the more important that whoever wants to go gets their name down sharpish, or they will have to buy their own ticket.

There's absolutely no way I'm entertaining camping or snoozeboxes!

Since Goodwood is only part of the weekend, and there are other things being planned some distance away (we need to drive those Maseratis, remember), then accommodation won't be close to Goodwood.

I make that 21 adults wanting tickets, 2 young people at half price, and 1 child, foc.

Spoke to Claude in France last night, and there are 10 French currently booked in to come, with more expected to confirm today.

Any more takers? The tickets go on fully open sale at 9am today...
