Fontwell sells Grandstand & Paddock admission for the public areas, plus Premier Viewing for a suite with a private balcony and included drink. Trackside Parking, also called Centre Course, is a separate paid car park and picnic area; everyone in the car still needs a valid admission ticket. Restaurant and private-box hospitality packages are booked separately and include race admission.
