The National Equine Show’s third box office launch on 5th September saw the full complimentary ticket allocation of 2000 tickets go in under an hour, and by late afternoon on day one, over 6,200 tickets had been registered.
“Each year, we set aside a number of free tickets that we offer directly through the National Equine Show platforms and through specially selected partners. The reason for being so generous with our free tickets is to ensure that cost is not a barrier to entry. We know a lot of events can be quite prohibitive from a cost point of view and we want to ensure that those who wish to attend have the opportunity to do so.” said Liz Ormesher, Event Director at The National Equine Show. “Now that the free tickets have been registered, we move into early bird pricing, again aiming to keep the cost as low as possible despite the increased demand for tickets.”
The National Equine Show’s first event, held in 2023, saw just under 10,000 people attend during the two days, and the second show in 2024 saw around 15,000 equestrians visit the NEC over the duration of the show. With over 6,000 tickets registered in just a few hours, the 2025 event is already looking like it’s going to be a very exciting one for all the stands, features and attendees involved.
The Early Bird ticket offer allows people using code EARLYNES25 the chance to bag themselves a weekend ticket for just £7.50 (full price is £20 for the weekend or £15 for a day). This code is only available on a limited number of tickets, so the advice is to register early before the price increases.
In addition, this year sees the launch of the Guaranteed Access Meet & Greet tickets. Due to overwhelming demand for the show’s Meet & Greets, the National Equine Show has introduced a new ticket option, limited to 150 tickets a day, that will allow holders to get priority access to the Meet & Greets on the day they attend. On Saturday, this will be This Esme, Megan Elphick, Sam Dracott, Yasmin Ingham, and on Sunday This Esme, Megan Elphick and Sam Dracott will be joined by Carl Hester. There will be free access to several Meet & Greets over the weekend, but due to demand, queues may be cut to fit the available time allocated.
