Within three hours of the public ticket sales launch for the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games, tens of thousands of tickets had already been purchased for the world’s most prestigious equestrian competition.
Tickets have already been reserved in each of the 49 competition sessions available for the 2010 Games, including Opening and Closing Ceremonies.
The Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games will feature eight world championships in equestrian sport at the Kentucky Horse Park from September 25 to October 10, 2010. Tickets are on sale at www.alltechfeigames.com, www.ticketmaster.com, all Ticketmaster outlets, and the Ticketmaster hotline at (800) 745-3000.
“Ticket sales have already far exceeded our expectations,” said World Games 2010 Foundation CEO Jamie Link. “By the end of this first day of public sales, more than 20% of tickets for the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games will be reserved.”
As expected by the Foundation, sessions for final rounds of competition are showing particularly strong interest, as well as opening and closing ceremonies and the reining freestyle exhibition.
