Leopardstown sold out with 5,000 attendance The sold out signs are up at Leopardstown where numbers are restricted to 5,000 racegoers per day for the four-day Christmas Festival meeting following increased restrictions announced by government last Friday to combat the spread of the Omicron variant of coronavirus. The four-day meeting, which runs from Sunday December 26 to Wednesday December 29, boasts seven Grade 1 races in total including the Savills Chase (28th) and the Matheson Hurdle (29th). Leopardstown Racecourse have issued a statement today clarifying their position on refunds saying: Leopardstown Racecourse’s priority is to deliver a safe and enjoyable experience for all our patrons, aligned with public health directives. We have examined all our ticket allocations since the announcement on Friday and have had a number of cancellations from customers who will be fully refunded. We have also been working over the weekend with our commercial partners and stakeholders, and with their generous co-operation have regained enough capacity to allow us facilitate all those who purchased on public sale their tickets for the Leopardstown Christmas festival. As a result we are delighted that everyone who currently has a ticket for the Leopardstown Christmas Festival will be able to attend according to the details of their ticket. Unfortunately, there will be no additional tickets available to purchase for any day and admission without a ticket on the day of racing cannot be accommodated. We look forward to welcoming many of our customers back to the Leopardstown Christmas Festival for the first time in two years. Cancellation requests for hospitality, suite bookings and Christmas Cracker packages which are requested before midnight on 20th December 2021 will be refunded in full. Cancelations made after the 20th December with a Food and Beverage element will be refunded at 50% due to costs associated with these ticket types. All refunds must be requested before 5pm on Thursday 23rd of December. Cancellation requests for General Admission tickets and Premium Level Access tickets which are requested before 5pm on Thursday 23rd of December will be refunded in full. No further refunds will be processed after this time. All refunds can be requested via the Leopardstown website.
