The big day is now just around the corner, so if you haven’t got tickets already, you’re leaving it late, but for those looking to score a late entry to one of the hottest days in the racing calendar, we’re going to see what’s available.

What tickets are still available?

As is typically the case with big race meetings, Grand National tickets are most widely available from The Jockey Club website. That said, it’s late in the day so to speak, so availability is likely to be tight.

Currently, there are still tickets available for some areas of the racecourse on Grand National day, which is Saturday April 15th 2023. The cheapest tickets available right now stand at £42 per person. Said tickets are for admittance to the ‘The Embankment’ which is said to offer prime viewing of the first fences in the race. This part of the course also has betting facilities, catering services, bars and unreserved seating, though you will not be able to access the main part of the racecourse.
