点评:Similar to a lot of recent reviews, I (along with my father) suffered a poor experience attending the so called Family Fun Day.
To their credit, Chester sure do lead the way as regards innovation. Whether that be Dynamic pricing, Dress Code or extortionate Drink prices.
I've read a review saying someone paid over £40 for entry this Sunday gone. I realise courses have early bird rates, but charging over 1.5x prices from a couple of months ago seems to be exploiting the many who will choose to attend on the day.
Then you have the elitist Dress code. As others have pointed out, what is wrong with a smart pair of tailored shorts in the height of summer? If people want to wear suits etc there is the County enclosure for that. Chester are the only racecourse that see fit to have an out of date dress code for the Tattersalls or Grandstand equivalent enclosure.
And don't get me started on the one pound non refundable charge for a plastic cup. Where does this money go to? And why aren't you allowed to keep said cup? You get charged one pound and are forced to return it! Plus it's £8.25 for a pint of Ale, which is really £9.25 seeing as you'll be forced to pay for the cup. There cannot be a more expensive pint on an UK racecourse.
Other issues include lack of seating and confusing entry with your ticket telling you one thing and signs another. Plus the staff I dealt with were abrupt and not at all friendly.
All in all, a thoroughly dreadful experience and we won't be back, which is a shame, as it should be one of the best in the country. And despite requesting contact details for management to pass on some constructive criticism, I'm still waiting...
翻译:和很多近期的评论类似,我(以及我的父亲)在参加所谓的“家庭欢乐日”活动时经历了不愉快的体验。
值得称赞的是,切斯特在创新方面确实走在前列——无论是动态定价、着装要求,还是高得离谱的饮料价格。
我读到过一篇评论,说有人在上周日花了40多英镑来入场。我知道高尔夫球场会有早鸟优惠价,但收费超过1……现在的票价是几个月前的5倍,这显然是在剥削那些决定当天去观赛的观众。
还有那个带有精英主义色彩的着装规定。正如其他人所指出的,在盛夏时节,穿一条剪裁得体的短裤有什么问题呢?如果有人想穿西装之类的,也有专门的“County”观赛区可供选择。切斯特赛马场是唯一一个认为有必要对类似塔特索尔斯看台或主看台区域实施过时着装规定的赛马场。至于那个1英镑的塑料杯押金——而且这笔钱还不予退还——我就不多说了。这笔钱都去哪儿了呢?为什么又不允许顾客保留那个杯子呢?你要先支付1英镑,然后还被迫把杯子归还!此外,一品脱麦芽酒的价格是8.25英镑,但实际上要付9.25英镑,因为你还得额外花钱购买杯子。在英国的赛马场上,恐怕再也找不到比这更贵的啤酒了。
其他问题还包括缺乏座位,以及入场指示混乱:门票上的说明是一套说法,现场的标识又是另一套说法。另外,与我打交道的员工态度生硬,一点都不友善。
总的来说,这是一次极其糟糕的体验,我们不会再光顾了。这真可惜,因为这里本应是全国最出色的场所之一。尽管我要求获得管理层的联系方式以便提出一些建设性的意见,但我至今仍在等待回复……
