The new buyer on purchasing the Silver Ticket would need to get in touch with Jaimie-Lea at the racecourse directly and I would need to see the badge in person in order to change over all the details to the new owners name and address. We will take a photo copy of the Silver Ticket and ask the new owner to sign and date this copy to declare new ownership of Ticket No.18. I would then produce the current years badge to take away immediately and automatically send a new badge at the beginning of each calendar year thereafter.
