Most Ayr racedays are now a single enclosure: one ticket covers all the public areas, with no split between Club and Grandstand. On the big days, such as the Scottish Grand National and the Ayr Gold Cup, Club and Grandstand tickets are sold separately, and on National Saturday the Grandstand Tented Village is added. Under-18s go free with a full-paying adult.

Ordinary racedays are much cheaper. Over-60s get up to £5 off Club or Grandstand tickets, except on Scottish Grand National and Ayr Gold Cup Saturdays.
