How you can buy tickets online
There's a button on the Donnington Historic website:
http://doningtonpark.seetickets.com/Event/DONINGTON-HISTORIC-FESTIVAL/Donington-Park/672844
You must enter the club's unique offer code - UKS2000DHF13 - and press the 'use code' button, then the prices on the page will change to your club prices, rather than the full prices originally displayed.
NB, car club discounted tickets are offered in multiples of two, and the price shown is the discounted price for one ticket. When you add two tickets to your basket, you will get two tickets for the (full) price of one. If you want four tickets for the price of two full-priced ones, you must click '4'!
Children aged 15 and under (accompanied by an adult) get in for free. And each ticket gives two-for-one entry to the Donington Grand Prix Collection over the weekend and for the following two months.

Donington Park has seen many unforgettable racing moments over the decades and, for 2013, the Festival is celebrating two particularly iconic ones; the 30th anniversary of the first time the late, great Ayrton Senna got behind the wheel of an F1 car, and the 20th anniversary of his extraordinary display of mastery over the rain in the 1993 European Grand Prix. This tribute to Senna, combined with the close-fought and exhilarating competition out on the track – with over 400 historic racing cars, spanning seven decades – looks set to prove a big draw for classic car enthusiasts from across the UK and internationally. This is the first time that the Festival has been held over three days. On each day of the Festival gates open at 07.30am and the circuit activity starts at 9am, finishing at around 6pm on the Friday, 7.30pm on the Saturday and 6pm on the Sunday.
Racing will take place mainly on the Saturday and Sunday, with qualifying taking place mostly on the Friday. The provisional timetable will be announced early in 2013. Members of car clubs registered to attend the event benefit from a two-for-one ticket offer on advance tickets when they quote their unique club code at time of booking (deadline Friday, April 19th), and will receive one infield pass for every pair of tickets they buy, allowing them to join the other cars on display in their club's dedicated infield parking area, to create a fantastic exhibit for all spectators to enjoy. www.doningtonhistoric.com
PARKING, ACCOMMODATION AND DISABLED VISITORS
Infield parking passes
See Tickets will automatically issue one infield parking pass (for 'club appropriate' vehicles) for every pair of club tickets purchased. I appreciate that some of your members will need further passes, as not everyone is buying a pair of tickets to cover a driver and passenger. If further infield passes are needed, the club member will need to email: karen@doningtonhistoric.com.
Club officials in non-display vehicles, and anyone else needing to gain access to set up the stands etc. will also be issued with vehicle passes, though we do ask that you then take the non-display vehicles out of the infield area, unless they are performing a vital role such as supporting an awning or acting as your club office on site. More details will follow nearer the time.
Accommodation
Unfortunately, Donington Park is not offering its on-site camping this year. However, camping is available next door - at the Donington Park Farm House Hotel! Details of camping, hotels and local B&Bs can be found here: http://www.donington-park.co.uk/about-donington/accommodation/
Disabled Visitors
Disabled ticket holders that require full time assistance should be provided with one free ticket at the gate for their care assistant, partner or accompanying friend. In order to receive this free ticket, the disabled visitor will need to bring along a copy of their most recent DLA letter showing their current entitlement as well as their blue badge, should they require car parking on site. The disabled access area and viewing point will be confirmed before the event.
See Tickets' charges
Please note that See Tickets, the booking agency, levies the following additional charges on top of our ticket prices - a booking fee per ticket to cover their admin costs, plus a transaction fee on the total order. Booking fees are:
|
Ticket type |
Booking Fee |
|
£12 Friday ticket |
60p |
|
£20 Saturday or Sunday ticket |
£1 |
|
£36 3-day weekend ticket |
£1.80 |
So two Friday tickets bought using a car club two-for-one offer code will incur a 60p total booking fee and therefore cost £12.60 (i.e. £6.30 per person) plus the transaction fee. The transaction fee is a one-off post and packaging cost for the total order, and that is the same whether a member is buying one pair of tickets or 25 pairs of tickets. The transaction fee is £1.95 per order for first class post and £6.50 for registered post. So the total cost for those two Friday tickets bought using a car club code and sent first class post will be £14.55. Your members will be able to choose their preferred method of postage at the checkout.
Ticket Despatch
See Tickets usually start sending tickets out about three weeks before the event.
