The buggy service was a god send as I have breathing difficulties. It's a pity it couldn't get any closer than it did as that would have been an even greater help. 1st time in Club last year, really enjoyed it. That's why we're returning this year. Can't wait!!

A very British Event

There were six coaches from the Civil service Club. The weather was terrible as predicted. On arrival we were informed that the erection of gazebos, was not allowed on health and safety grounds. We were informed that we could eat and drink on the coach. There was no provision of cover from the incompetent Jockey Club. A very British event. Did I mention I paid £280 for my day in the rain.

Good Morning Barry,

Thank you for your feedback. We’re really sorry to hear about your experience.

We appreciate how disappointing the weather conditions were on the day, and understand how this would have impacted your enjoyment, particularly given the size of your group and the cost of your visit. The restrictions around gazebos were in place for health and safety reasons, but we’re sorry this left you feeling there was insufficient shelter available.

This is not the standard of experience we aim to provide, and your comments will be shared with the team to help us improve for the future.

As others have stated

*update*

Got a full refund via my credit card company. Even they said they dont know why they did not refund as it was clear that consumer rights override their Ts&Cs... so to anyone else who had the race cancelled either claim through your CC or bank!!! Don't let companies rip you off!

As others have stated, they have cancelled the racing on the 20th of June due to the fact they cant fix a hole in the ground that's been there for some time! they are refusing a refund and giving back a messily 10% due to the Cr@p concert that's on latter... they seem to think their terms and conditions overrule the law of the land (in this case consumer rights act) the fact they have cancelled the event (the horse racing) which would be the entire reason for going to a race course. means they have broken contract.... So as usual with these companies contacted my credit card company to freeze the payment and looking in to using MCOL yet again to claim my money back.

** In Response**

Firstly its not a interpretation of the consumer rights act its the actual Fact of it. Just to Add I am adept with the Act and have used it in multiple incidents where unscrupulous companies try to rip off consumers. Also I have had it confirmed by citizens advice in this instance as well!

No one is arguing regarding the safety of the animals, this should ALWAYS be the first and foremost concern! What this is about is a company not refunding money for an event that has been for all intense and purposes cancelled.

Just to add I have been in contact with your "Customer service" and have just been met with obstinance. It should be a simple transaction. the event has been cancelled, regardless of the reason the contract has been changed or can not fulfilled therefore a full refund should be offered!

Good Morning Mick,

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear how strongly you feel about this situation.
Racing was cancelled due to safety concerns, which unfortunately are outside of our control, and we understand how disappointing that is if this was the main reason for your visit. We also recognise your concerns regarding refunds and your interpretation of consumer rights.
We take feedback like this seriously and would welcome the opportunity to discuss it with you directly. If you haven’t done so already, please feel free to contact us at contact.centre@thejockeyclub.co.uk so we can review your case in more detail.

Booked to go to the races on 20th June

Booked to go to the races on 20th June, just so happens a concert is on. Just been informed the racing is cancelled due to a hole on the course and all that is being offered is 10% = £5 back - the handling fee. Normal race day entry is more than this. Apparently this is in the t&c's which werent clear and obvious. Clearly dont care about the punters there for the racing - wont be heading back here again.

We understand how frustrating it must have been to have the racing cancelled, especially if that was the main reason for your visit. While the decision was made for safety reasons, we appreciate this doesn’t lessen the impact on your experience.

We’re also sorry that the compensation and terms were not clear or met your expectations. Your comments have been noted, and we’ll review how we communicate this information going forward.

Signed up months ago because it said discount on race tickets and iv NEVER had anything of a discount. I go to Haydock park nearly every time theres racing and book through the jockey club and earn like 1% which is absolutely pointless. Why is it that students and age 18-24 get 50% off but loyal customers get nothing at all? Would of expected some kind of discount off tickets as a good customer, but nothing at all.

Hi Andrew,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and we’re really sorry to hear that you feel disappointed with your experience.

Haydock Park operates a best-price-first approach whereby customers are encouraged to purchase early to take advantage of up to 25% off raceday prices. Alongside this, select promotions will be offered to customers on an ad hoc basis, and we’d always encourage customers to check their emails from us for further information when it’s forthcoming, as this is how we communicate any exclusive offers or discounts.

We do appreciate your loyalty in attending regularly, and we understand your frustration regarding discounts and rewards. Feedback like yours is valuable and helps us review how we recognise and reward our returning customers.

Poor customer service

I ordered 3 packages for New Years Day comprising 15 tickets/vouchers costing total of £250. When the packages arrived one of the vouchers was blank - it should have been a £5 food and drink voucher. This should have been obvious and the issue should have been picked up prior to despatch.

I phoned the customer service desk on 23 December.
Call 1. After speaking to a customer service adviser I was told they would speak to despatch. I then got cut off.
Call 2. I spoke to an adviser who put me back to the first adviser who said I should send photographic evidence.
Took photos of the tickets received as requested. Email sent 23/12 and I got a reply the same day saying "we will get that put in the post".
After the post was delivered today there was no sign of the voucher.
Call 3 - I rang - got through and was immediately cut off.
Call 4 - I rang and was told I would be put through to Cheltenham racecourse whereupon the call went through to voicemail(!)
Call 5 - I rang again was put through to Cheltenham again where I was told that "it would be sorted out for you" if I come to a particular entrance on arriving at the course.
So in summary so far no voucher, quite a bit of time spent on the phone, email and taking photos, further inconvenience tomorrow and no acknowledgement of any of this.

Thank you for taking the time to detail your experience. Please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience, frustration, and time you have had to spend resolving this matter. This is clearly not the level of service we aim to provide.

We are very sorry that one of the vouchers in your New Year’s Day package was dispatched blank. This should have been identified prior to despatch, and we fully accept that this error occurred on our part.

Your feedback has been shared with both our customer service and despatch teams so that this issue is reviewed and prevented in future.

Thank you for your patience, and we hope you still enjoyed your visit despite this experience. Should you need any further assistance, please contact us directly and we will ensure your enquiry is handled promptly.

You are NOT entitled…..you do not belong in here!

Thanks to Cheltenham races, these words stained what was meant to be a family celebration to mark my father’s 70th birthday.
Having spent a considerable amount of money at a charity auction to obtain 6 tickets that promised an unforgettable ‘day at the races’ experience which included reserved seats overlooking the winning post & members lounge assess with ample seating; we arrived via the At the races steam train and entered the racecourse excited by the day ahead. Arriving at the members lounge over 2hrs before the 1st race, I was gobsmacked to see every chair and table available was already occupied (so much for ample seating 😳). Thankfully, one of the young ladies assisting at the bar brought a couple of chairs so my parents could sit down. After about 20mins we were approached by a very rude member of staff (Kate N) who said we couldn’t sit there and that we had to move. She then proceeded to say that because we didn’t have a metal badge, we were not allowed in the lounge and we had to leave. When I tried to explain our position she raised her voice and said…..’ you are NOT entitled to be in here, these people have paid a lot of money to be members and you do not belong here’. My parents were visibly shaken and embarrassed so we escalated the issue to her supervisor. After about 30mins of uncertainty, we were then told that actually we were able to be in the lounge.
Having visited Cheltenham races many times, this visit left me feeling appalled by the rude, unhelpful and arrogance of certain staff who seem to go out of their way to spoil the day of the guests.
Cheltenham races needs to look very carefully about how it treats its customers and ensure that the staff they employ deliver a customer centric experience as opposed to an arrogant, self-importance fuelled ego that ruins the experience for all. I’m sorry to say, this will be my last visit to this course 😢

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and I’m genuinely sorry to hear that what should have been a special celebration for your father’s 70th birthday was overshadowed by the experience you described. This is certainly not the level of service or hospitality we aim to deliver, and I fully understand how upsetting and disappointing the situation must have been for you and your family.

Your comments regarding the seating arrangements, the confusion around access, and particularly the behaviour of the staff member involved are very concerning. Experiences like the one you’ve described fall well below our expectations, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention so it can be reviewed and addressed appropriately.

To allow us to investigate this in more detail and follow up properly, please could you email the team directly at cheltenham.reception@thejockeyclub.co.uk. Once we receive your message, we will be able to look into the matter further and respond accordingly.

Thank you again for letting us know, and I’m truly sorry for the impact this had on such an important family occasion.
