Cheltenham bes tickets advice help for 2024

I am booking for Cheltenham and need some help picking the best tickets to enjoy the Tuesday and the Friday

Would prefer to experience the festival with different tickets each day. So to that end I have already bought , Wednesday , Thursday tickets and looking for a different experience for the Tuesday and Friday

On the

Wednesday -already bought

Club Admission with Horses for Courses Tour

Thursday - already bought

Club & Guinness Grandstand (Guinness Grandstand

So it leaves me with seeking a different experience on Tuesday , and Friday (preferably pay for somewhere quieter on the friday as it sells out , maybe a restaurant w drinks package,)

I want the view , the atmosphere, not watching it on a bloody screen.

I went 10 years ago once on the Tuesday, I now live in Australia and this will be my last trip back to UK so it's bucket list all 4 days

Appreciate the passion and experience in this forum for any advice from those that may have been there many festivals and done it all.

So just need to sort out

Tuesday and Friday

So far advice been given is re restaurants is all of below are potentially worth doing

The horse and groom restaurant
Panoramic restaurant but ?1500 each pp
Green room
480
Alberta runs restaurant

A lot of people also saying that the best mate tent / enclosure is the best seat in the house in terms of ground level or the stand there, with live music and view of finish line from stands

I personally would say that the best mate stand is the worst stand by a long long way.

I’d also say the crowd on a Friday is far more Royal Ascot-esque compared to the rest of the week where it feels like you’re amongst proper racing people. And by Ascot I mean it’s full of people who aren’t there for the racing whatsoever. They’re there to get pissed.

On the Tuesday and Wednesday the area in front of the main grandstand is packed for pretty much all races. On Thursday, barring the Turners, there are noticeably less people watching the racing. You can feel the difference too. People aren't in the toilets talking about the last race, they are passing each other keys. As for the Friday, it's a complete bin of a day IMO and I enjoy watching from home.
