Grand National 2027 Tickets: Prices, Enclosures & How to Buy

Are Grand National 2027 tickets on sale?

Yes. Aintree Racecourse, run by The Jockey Club, already has 2027 tickets and hospitality on sale for all three days of the festival — Opening Day (Thursday 8 April), Ladies Day (Friday 9 April) and Grand National Day (Saturday 10 April). Tickets typically go on sale many months ahead, and the most in-demand enclosures on the Friday and Saturday can sell out well before raceday, so it pays to book early.

Grand National 2027 ticket prices by enclosure

These are the "from" prices listed on the official Aintree site as of October 2026. Prices vary by day — Grand National Day is generally the most expensive — and can rise as the meeting gets closer.

Always check the latest prices and exactly what's included for each day on the official Aintree website before you book.

Which enclosure should you choose?

On a budget: Festival Zone and The Embankment

The Festival Zone is the cheapest way into the Grand National and has a lively, sociable atmosphere. The Embankment is another popular outdoor option with a relaxed feel — but be aware that it doesn't give you access to the main course, so check it suits what you want from the day.

For the paddock buzz: the terraces

The Earl of Derby and Lord Sefton Terraces sit in the heart of the action and include access to view the Parade Ring and Winners' Enclosure — ideal if you want to see the horses up close before they race.

For the view: the roofs and grandstand seats

If seeing the race is the priority, the roof enclosures (Lord Daresbury, Princess Royal and Queen Mother) give you height over the course, and the reserved grandstand seats guarantee you a place to watch from. These are the pricier options but the best way to follow a four-and-a-quarter-mile race.

Hospitality packages

For a special occasion or corporate day out, Aintree offers restaurant packages, private boxes, Pavilion Executive Boxes and Grandstand Boxes — the latter with your own private balcony overlooking the course. Hospitality is priced separately and books up early for Grand National Day.

Which day should you go?

Thursday (Opening Day) is usually the quietest and best value, with top-class Grade 1 racing. Friday is Ladies Day, one of the biggest social and fashion days of the year. Saturday is Grand National Day — the biggest crowds, the biggest atmosphere and, generally, the highest prices. The National itself is off at 4:00pm.

How to buy Grand National tickets safely

• Buy direct from Aintree. The official Aintree ticket page is the only place to be certain your tickets are genuine.
• Be wary of resale sites. Unofficial sellers may charge well over face value, and tickets may not be valid.
• Check the day and enclosure. Prices and access differ between the three days and between enclosures.
• Groups: Aintree offers group bookings, and payment options at checkout include paying in instalments (subject to status).

What to wear

There's no official dress code at the Grand National — Aintree encourages racegoers to dress to feel their best, but asks for no fancy dress, sportswear, or team colours and kits. For outfit ideas and the Style Awards, see our Aintree Ladies Day guide.

Getting there

Aintree is on Ormskirk Road, Liverpool L9 5AS, with its own station on Merseyrail's Northern Line right beside the course. For travel, parking and more on the venue, see our Aintree Racecourse guide.
