Tickets
If you have chosen to have tickets posted (not print-at-home) you will need to bring the originals to the circuit as copies and receipts are not accepted. All advance tickets have now been dispatched and were sent by either Recorded or Special Delivery, meaning a signature is required. 

In the rare instance that your tickets have not arrived in time you will need to purchase them at the gate price and obtain a refund after the event by returning the gate ticket stubs and your original tickets to the main MSV office at Brands Hatch.

Print-at-home tickets are emailed on the day of purchase. If you haven't received yours, login to your MSV account to access them. Print all your e-documents and bring them to the venue. Your order confirmation email will not gain you admission to the venue - you must have your e-tickets printed.

Please have your tickets separated before arriving at the gate.

Additional tickets are available to purchase on the gate for £34 for the main Sunday raceday, and £16 for Saturday. Discounts are available for 13-15 year olds and senior citizens aged 65 and above, while under-13s go free.

Gate opening times
Public admission to the circuit is from 8am on Saturday and 7.30 on Sunday.

Big screens
To help you keep up with all the action three large screens will be provided around the circuit on raceday Sunday. These will be located at the Infield at Oggies facing the Palmer banking, on the Infield at Bombhole and at Murrays.

Campsite
The campsite opens at midday on Friday 27 July and closes at midday on Monday 30 July.
If you are bringing a barbecue, please download our additional safety advice sheet provided due to the exceptionally dry ground.

There will be live music on the campsite throughout the weekend. On Friday night it's Night Train, an eight-piece soul/funk band, and on Saturday we've got Renegade 12, a five-piece rock band.

The Snetterton adventure playground is located next to Tyrrells restaurant and is free of charge. It features a motorsport theme and has equipment for children of all ages from toddler to 14.
