BHA partners Tickets for Troops

For the second year, the British Horseracing Authority (BHA) has partnered Tickets For Troops, a scheme launched in 2009 that provides free tickets to members of the Armed Forces for a variety of sporting, musical and cultural events.

The BHA in collaboration with 60 racecourses in Great Britain have donated over 70,000 tickets to the scheme enabling armed forces employees to attend some of British racing’s premier days for free.

Events include the Royal Ascot, the Qatar Goodwood Festival, the Welcome to Yorkshire Ebor Festival, the William Hill St Leger Festival and Cheltenham’s November Meeting.

Lord Marland, Chairman of Tickets For Troops, said:

“This is fantastic news from the BHA which has been a very generous supporter of Tickets For Troops since launch. The geography of racecourses throughout the UK means that troops and their families from all corners of country can enjoy a great day out in recognition of their efforts in keeping us safe and secure.”

Robin Mounsey, Head of Media at the BHA, added:

“It is great news that all 60 racecourses are able to show appreciation for the brave men and women who serve our country, and we are grateful to our racecourses for the generosity they continue to show.
