Tickets have sold out for admission to Badminton Horse Trials on Saturday (7 May).
Badminton shared the news today (4 May) that they had reached capacity for cross-country day at this year’s event.
Tickets are still on sale for alternative days this week, Thursday, Friday and Sunday.
“Saturday car passes and personal admission tickets have sold out due to reaching capacity that the site can accommodate,” said a spokesman for Badminton.
“We know that there will be disappointed customers, but tickets are still available for Thursday, Friday and Sunday provided they are booked by midnight on the day before attending.”
Stay tuned
If you’re unable to attend Badminton Horse Trials in person, you can tune in from home. This year, fans can subscribe to the event’s official channel, Badminton TV, which includes access to a live stream of all the action.
The full event is no longer available to watch live on BBC Red Button due to “rising broadcast production costs”.
“The sad reality is that the gap between rising broadcast production costs (paid for by Badminton Horse Trials) and the reducing contribution paid by the BBC to cover these costs has become so vast, that if we do not now put the live coverage (apart from top 10 show jumping) behind a pay wall it would also make broadcasting anything on the BBC unviable,” said a Badminton spokesman.
