- Music Showcase terms and conditions -

1) The standard policy for transfers/upgrades will apply throughout the event including the concerts, for example if racegoers wish to transfer between Course Enclosure and Grandstand & Paddock then, subject to availability, they will be able to do so on payment of the upgrade fee of £10.

2) The music concert is part of the raceday experience and so there is not a separate admission price for the music only.

3) Approximate timings for the music are as follows: Friday evening 8.30pm-10pm; Saturday 5.30pm to 7pm.

4) Once the artists have been confirmed, circumstances beyond their control (e.g illness) may require a late change; please check the website for news closer to the event. If this is known 48 hours before the raceday, customers retain the right to cancel their booking and receive a full refund. As the music is part of the wider raceday experience then no refund will apply if unforeseen circumstances change or prevent the musical performance on the day itself.

5) The position of the stage for 2012 is at the southern end of Bustardthorpe Lawn on the main grandstand side. We will make good use of the giant screens and sound system to enhance the experience for all racegoers. The new stage will be bigger and with a better sound and light system than any of the previous versions. Please note in order to get closest to the stage racegoers will need to book entry to County Stand or Grandstand & Paddock.

September Family Sunday - Where reference is made to free ice cream, a free ice cream voucher will be included in every racecard (racecards are complimentary for those County Stand badgeholders) on the day.
