Parking information
Parking is free of charge in the main spectator car parks, located by the main entrance off the A20. These will be well signposted.

Please note that Southbank parking (the grass slope opposite the rear of the pit garages) is £5 per car. Places will be allotted on a first come, first served basis. You will need to download a pass in advance by clicking here.

Blue badge holders should follow public signage for disabled parking or alternatively please speak to a member of staff on arrival.

Tickets
All advance sales have now closed. Tickets will be available on the gate at the following prices:

Adults: £26
Teen (13-15): £16
Senior Citizens: £21
Under-13s: FREE

Please use card or contactless payments where possible.

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. If you haven't received them, contact us urgently at [email protected].

Print-at-home/e-tickets are emailed on the day of purchase. If you haven't received yours, you can access them by logging on to your MSV account. Your order confirmation email will not gain you admission to the venue - you must have your e-tickets printed or scanned from a mobile device.

Please have your tickets separated before arriving at the gate.

Camping
Ticket holders are welcome to camp on site free of charge from midday on Saturday 3 August until midday on Monday 5 August, but limited facilities are available during this time. Please head to the main entrance on arrival and you will be directed from there.

Please note the Kentagon will be closed Saturday afternoon/evening, but Hailwoods will be open with tickets available to purchase for a BBQ.
