JustSeats in association with Qatar Racing and Fitzdares are teaming up to host a Charity Royal Ascot preview evening like never before.
Join flat racing’s biggest names online on Wednesday, 10 June at 6pm, as they discuss and give their unique insights into the feature races for each day of Royal Ascot.
The 'star-studded' panel will be hosted by ITV racing’s Francesca Cumani and joined by 'world-famous' jockey Frankie Dettori, current Champion jockey Oisin Murphy and Royal Ascot-winning trainer Charlie Fellowes. Each panelist has chosen a racing charity of their choice with 70% of the purchase ticket price going straight to charity.
Racing fans will have the unique opportunity to join the panel via Zoom and send in questions during the preview. There will also be a raffle during the event, as well as a best dressed competition for preview viewers wearing their finest Royal Ascot outfits. Viewers can use #virtualroyalenclosure to enter for the chance to win fantastic prizes.
Fitzdares will provide their own panelist giving updated odds throughout the evening and will be offering a matched free bet up to £25 for any ticket purchased (subject to the ticket purchaser being 21+). Thousands of tickets will be available to purchase at £10 per ticket from www.justseats.org.
JustSeats is a new ticket platform that enables brands to boost their CSR by recycling surplus event tickets that aren't used. They give 70% of all ticket sales to charity and use the remaining funds to promote awareness of the events, the donors and the charities involved.
By selling these tickets and donating a large proportion of the proceeds to charity, this innovative platform was making great progress before Coronavirus struck, selling tickets for Ascot and Newbury Racecourses, as well as Premier League football matches, and London theatre tickets enabling support for over 40 charities.
As events come back online, JustSeats hope to play an important part in the rehabilitation of the charitable sector, whilst providing a new way for companies across the UK to improve their CSR.
