    Was slow to apply and even had problem so may not be the same as others but these were the process.

    1. Once you click on the link that came with the approval email, you will be taken to the Silverstone Event site.

    2. You will be asked to select the standard or upgrade (Brookland hospitality lounge) package and place the ticket order.
    For the standard one, max 2 tickets for free.

    3. At the beginning of check out process, you’ll be asked to login to your Silverstone account.
    If you don’t have one, you’ll be asked to create one.

    This email address becomes your login name.

    And it’s the only thing that can link between the Silverstone Account (ticket purchase process) and the Silverstone App (Live QR code generator).

    4. Soon after, you should receive another email confirming your ticket order with booking reference included.

    5. Then, several minutes later, another email stating that your ticket is ready within the Silverstone App (Tickets).

    You must login to the App using the same email address as the Silverstone account that you used for checking out the basket.

    You will be reminded on this at the ‘Step 02’ section of the ‘ticket ready’ email.
    It will show you the email address for you.

    6. Once you logged into the App, the ticket would be displayed in the ‘My tickets’ tab.
    Tap on the selected event and you’ll see the ticket but ‘not yet active’.


    It will be activated just before the event.

    It’s the ‘Live’ QR code and changes regularly generating secret key code at certain interval, just like 2 factor authentication app.

    Therefore, screenshot or print out won’t work.


    At the time of writing….

    Too clever by half.
    Ticketing has now gone live.
    As Kaz noted, the ticket QR code is only available ‘live’ within the App, I can’t see any provision for a paper copy.
    Let’s hope the circuit (now) has enough internet band width available for everyone to access their accounts on the day.

    If you have a ticket you should soon (maybe even now) have a vehicle pass for the event

    If the software designed properly, should not need mobile data connection at the time of scan.

    The live clock on the QR code is nothing to do with the actual key code hidden inside.

    It’s purely for visualisation purpose that the App is not frozen or some sort of still image.
    More of assistance for the human being.

    Just don’t factory reset or uninstall the App just before leaving for the event.

    There were several issues reported last year among several events when people upgraded their ticket after purchasing it or
    made mistake in transferring the ticket to wrong email address but as long as you wake up the App at least once before leaving, should be fine.
