Sandown sells three ticket types: the Grandstand Enclosure, the Premier Enclosure and the 1875 Lounge. Each better ticket includes everything in the cheaper ones, so the 1875 Lounge gets you everywhere. Under-18s go free at most racedays. Restaurants and private boxes are booked separately as hospitality.
