Grand National 2027 tickets
Last Updated 6 days ago | By Anthony VellaThe Randox Grand National Festival returns to Aintree from Thursday 8 to Saturday 10 April 2027, with the Grand National itself on the Saturday. Tickets are on sale now, and when we last checked, several enclosures had already sold out for Grand National day.
This page puts every enclosure’s price side by side for all three days, covers the new Inner Circle that Aintree has introduced for 2027, and explains how to book.
Grand National ticket prices at a glance
Thursday is the cheapest day, Friday (Ladies Day) costs a little more, and Saturday is the most expensive. Booking in advance is cheaper than paying at the gate, because a change to Aintree’s pricing policy at the 2026 Festival pushed up the cost of some tickets bought on the day.
The cheapest way in is the Festival Zone on Thursday at £39, or the Embankment on Saturday at £47. The newest option is the Inner Circle, which costs £102 on Thursday, £138 on Friday and £180 on Saturday.

2027 Grand National Thursday tickets
Thursday opens the Festival. The Aintree Hurdle and the Randox Foxhunters’ Chase headline the card, and the Foxhunters’ lets you watch amateur riders take on the National fences.
2027 Grand National Ladies Day tickets
Friday is Ladies Day, when the racecourse is as much a fashion event as a sporting one. The Style Award is judged in the Red Rum Garden, and the racing includes the Melling Chase and the Topham Chase, which is run over the National fences.
2027 Grand National tickets
Saturday is the Grand National itself. 30 obstacles, a marathon distance, and a race that rarely goes to plan. If you can’t be there, here’s how to watch the Grand National live.
New for 2027: The Inner Circle
The Inner Circle is the first enclosure at Aintree that sits in the centre of the racecourse. Rather than watching from the stands around the track, you watch from inside it. Aintree describes it as a more elevated festival experience without the formality of hospitality, with a managed capacity, and it runs on all three days.
Your ticket gives you access to the Centre Course Enclosure, which Aintree says is the only place to view racing from the centre of the course. It also includes a premium facility with indoor seating, premium bars and food outlets, a private bar, betting facilities, and live entertainment through the day. Aintree lists views of the finishing post, but doesn’t say you can see the National fences from there.
Two practical points. The enclosure is fully enclosed, which makes it the only option in the table that isn’t exposed to April weather. The seating is unreserved, so a place at a table is first come, first served and it pays to arrive early. That also makes it a good fit for groups, which is how Aintree promotes it on Ladies Day. For larger parties, grandstand badges are limited to 10 per customer.

You can also book by phone on 0344 579 3001. The sales office is in the Princess Royal Stand reception and is open Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm. Aintree Racecourse is at Ormskirk Road, Aintree, Merseyside, L9 5AS.
