Galway Student Race Day 4.67

Got a question about the Student Race Day? Just message us and we'll be happy to help you out! But before you do, check out our FAQs below, you might find what you're looking for;


Q: "Can I buy a ticket at the gate on monday?"

A: You can buy a regular races ticket at the gate, but this is not the same as the official Student Race-day ticket, and won't gain you free entry to either of the two after-parties on the night. Entry to these venues on the night is €5, but there is a likelihood that only those with official tickets will be allowed access, as it promises to be a sell-out night and official ticket holders get priority before 11pm!
Also, unlike the official Student Race-day ticket, none of the profits from tickets on the gate go to charity.

Q: "Are there tickets still available?! XL Glasan/NUIG socs box just sold out!"

A: Yes we still have a limited number of tickets available and we're restocked XL Glasan and the socs box this evening. Unfortunately due to a much higher than expected demand our vendors have been selling out faster than we anticipated, but we will do our best to keep both the Socs Box and XL Glasan stocked until we sell out completely. If you intend on going to the Race-day and have not had a chance to buy a ticket we would advise getting one as soon as possible to avoid disappointment. Our reps will be on concourse selling tickets throughout the week so keep an eye out for them!

Q: "Can I buy tickets online?"

A: Unfortunately we are not selling online tickets as racecourse and afterparty venues are not equipped to process E-tickets. If you're commuting to Galway for the occasion we'd advise getting a friend to buy your ticket for you if possible!

Q "Are there buses going out to the racecourse?"

A: Yes we are organising buses to take racegoers to and from Ballybrit racecourse for the great price of €5 return. Keep an eye on our event page for more details!
