York Racecourse advises people to get their tickets for Sir Tom Jones
“Get your tickets for Sir Tom Jones quickly” is the message from York Racecourse as it looks forward to the visit of the Welsh singing legend on Friday evening 24 July.
Sir Tom is proving so popular that the capacity on Stands Side (County Stand and Grandstand and Paddock) is close to being reached, so people are being advised to act quickly.
The Course Enclosure (called the Picnic Enclosure by some) in the middle of the racecourse will only open to sales on the raceday, so there will still be the opportunity to be part of the evening of racing and music, even if the stand side limit is reached in the coming days. Course Enclosure visitors will not be able to upgrade to the Stands Side enclosures on the day.
Scouting For Girls will perform after racing on Saturday 25 July and whilst this is also a popular event, there is availability for all areas, County Stand, Grandstand and Paddock and Course Enclosure for Saturday 25 July; as applicable, both in advance and in all likelihood, on the gates.
Speaking a fortnight ahead of the Music Showcase Meeting, Head of Marketing and Sponsorship, James Brennan said, “Sir Tom is proving to be our fastest selling music act ever, so we want to get the message out to people to book now before the tickets on stand side are all gone. Please do not rely on buying them on the gates on the evening if you want to be on stands side.”
Explaining about Course Enclosure he continued, “It is a deliberate decision to only make Course Enclosure available on the day, so whatever happened in the next two weeks, we will start 24 July with availability in the middle of the course.”
