Christmas seems to come a little bit earlier every year, amiright? I am talking, of course, about tickets to the 2019 Land Rover Kentucky Three-Day Event (April 25-28), which officially go on sale today at 9 a.m. EST.
Ticket options include single-day, three-day (Fri-Sat-Sun) and four-day general admissions, as well as group sales, hospitality packages, cross country tailgating packages, and glamping. You can also go ahead and reserve your headsets as well as purchase programs and preferred parking. Fans will get the best seats at the best prices if they order early.
“If you want the best seats in the house, you better buy your tickets as soon as they go on sale!” says Stewart Perry, president of Equestrian Events, Inc. (EEI). “We had over 80,000 spectators at least year’s event — with more than 33,000 on cross country day alone. Tickets and tailgate spots go fast, so I urge everyone to order early!”
All grounds admission tickets include general parking and admission to the Kentucky Horse Park and International Trade Fair, but do not include access to the competition in the Rolex Stadium. Reserved grandstand seating is sold separately from grounds admission.
Sure, we still have a few months of pesky winter to suffer through, but in our hearts it’s already springtime in Kentucky and the birds are singing and the four-star horses are galloping past. For eventers who suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder, nine out of 10 doctors surveyed recommend purchasing Kentucky tickets in advance to hang on your fridge as a reminder that April is just around the corner.
