Pontefract Racecourse announce admission prices for 2022 meetings
The 2022 racing season gets underway at Pontefract on Tuesday, April 5 and at their press launch the racecourse announced that, despite the rising costs of living and increases in prices at courses up and down the country, they would be holding the admission price into both the Premier (£25) and Picnic (£7) Enclosures for all race meetings in 2022.
The admission price has not been increased in these enclosures since 2018. And while the cost of entry into the Grandstand & Paddock Enclosure will increase from £17 to £18, early bird discounts are available right up to the raceday itself meaning that racegoers can purchase tickets at the same price they would have paid in 2017.
