Ticket Application

£12 for entry at 2.00pm – cars 25 years or older
£17 for entry at 11.30am – cars 25 years or older
£17 for entry at 11.30am – cars admitted at Organisers’ discretion, less than 25 years old

NB: Cars, motorcycles and scooters registered in 1930 or earlier are FREE OF CHARGE but you must complete and send us the ticket application form.
Substitute Vehicles
Your ticket will display your vehicle’s registration number. If you need to come in a substitute qualifying vehicle, you must provide full details, including registration number, in advance, by emailing tickets@classicsonthecommon.com or by writing to Classics on the Common, 67 High Street, Harpenden AL5 2SL. DO NOT alter the registration number on your ticket. If a substitute vehicle does not meet the minimum age requirement a spectator car park must be used. Online tickets will be scanned on entry to the event to confirm validity.
Start Time
Start time will be 2.00pm unless you have an early entry ticket in which case you will be allowed on the Common from 11.30am. We also request that you stay on the Common until at least 6.00pm. This is to minimize congestion as vehicles arrive throughout the afternoon. Motorcycles and scooters will be allowed on the Common from 11.30am.
Harpenden Town Council has asked us to remind you that barbecues are not permitted on the Common and, for space considerations, no gazebos are allowed.

Charities
Thanks to the generosity of car and bike owners, spectators, our advertisers and sponsors, our last event raised £34,000 for charity. A helpful slice of that came from Gift Aid and we encourage you to tick the box on the application form for any donations over the minima.
