    If your tickets state Box Hill them you won't get entrance to The Mall.

    Also the team areas are a no go I'm told you will not be able to gain access.

    If you do not require the tickets for Box Hill, I would be happy to have them? :D
    I will be taking my son up to Box Hill/Dorking, but will be watching from outside the restricted area.

    There are tickets needed for the Box hill circuit and only at the very last corner at the mall is viewing free. The final straight is ticketed!
    Pick up last weeks cycling weekly for a good map and guide, v.useful

    Only the ascent of Box Hill is restricted, other parts of the Box Hill loop are fine to view from. http://www.london2012.com/mm/Document/D ... eutral.pdf

    As you say, the start/finish are also restricted to ticket access only.
