Aintree Entrance Fee

Entrance fees for Aintree Racecourse depend on the event and the enclosure chosen, with significant variation for the Grand National Festival and regular race days[2][4]. For the Grand National Festival, ticket prices in 2026 are as follows:

  • Festival Zone: £32 (Thursday), £51 (Friday), £78 (Saturday)
  • The Embankment: £43 (Saturday only)
  • West Tip Seats: £58 (Thursday), £78 (Friday), £124 (Saturday)
  • Earl of Derby Terrace/Lord Sefton Terrace: £56 (Thursday), £92 (Friday), £138 (Saturday)
  • Queen Mother Roof: £97 (Thursday), £143 (Friday), £189 (Saturday)
  • Garden Club: £87 (Thursday), £128 (Friday), £158 (Saturday)
  • Other premium seats and hospitality packages: Prices range up to £880 depending on the day and package
  • Regular race days: General admission fees typically start from as low as £5–£35 depending on the date and meeting[4]

The lowest-priced general ticket for the Grand National is usually for the Festival Zone, but it does not give full access to the entire racecourse; for broader access, higher-priced enclosures must be selected[2][3]. The Embankment is also a popular, slightly upgraded option[1]. Premium and hospitality packages, which include VIP amenities, can run from £240 to over £749 per person depending on the suite and the race day[1][3][6].

On regular race days, Aintree offers “one enclosure tickets” that allow access to all public areas and unreserved seating in open grandstands. Children often go free on these days[5].
