The tickets allow you to go into pretty much any grandstand at the track so it's well worth walking around and finding new points for each race.
My main advice is to try and hit the track early to avoid the traffic. We didn't get onto the access road from the M1 till about 9am and therefore didn't get into the track till around midday. I'd aim to get there before 8am or if you can maybe turn up Saturday afternoon and camp Saturday night to avoid the traffic jams (the tickets are valid for both days I believe).
I've got tickets again this year but can only make the Saturday. Both days have a similar programme with races from all series and the F1 cars doing demo runs.
There's also some great historic Renault displays that the fans can mingle amongst as well as check out all of Renaults latest cars and concepts and do test drives etc.
Maybe see you there!

I remeber applying for tickets at Doington a few years ago but did not bother to go in the event.Did go to Bilbao ,which was not free, but better supported.

This event always amazes me.Why do you need tickets in advance? Paragraph in todays 'Motorsport News' states 75,000 atended on sunday.Evidence of my eyes watching on TV -saw banks of empty stands,about 10% of that number would be more accurate

There empty seats, but not 10% of 75k. I did think the same though. Why stop giving them away? Unless there is some sort of restriction?

Because more spectators requires a bigger security presence, which costs money?
I can well believe that 75,000 punters were there on Sunday. Most were probably holed up in the infield and never ventured further than Copse or Luffield.
As an aside, it was interesting to note the lack of marshals who were prepared to help out during the course of the weekend. Seems they may have preferred to attend the Goodwood Revival, rather than fend off dozens upon dozens of spectators who seem to think it's okay to stray into dangerous areas just to get a terrible quality recording on their mobile.
