Tickets for the 2021 Land Rover Kentucky Three-Day Event presented by MARS Equestrian™ will now go on sale in January 2021.
Equestrian Events Inc. (EEI), which produces both world-class events, is delaying the opening of ticket sales because of remaining uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The CCI5* event is scheduled to return to the Kentucky Horse Park in Lexington, Kentucky, USA from April 22nd – 25th 2021 and next year’s event will also include a new CCI-4*-S
“As we continue to navigate these unchartered waters connected to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are in constant communication with the USEF, Kentucky Horse Park, and local governments” said Mike Cooper, EEI president
“Naturally, our prime concern is the safety and well-being of everyone and, given the current circumstances, we think it wisest to delay the opening of ticket sales until we are certain that we have the absolute best plans regarding spectator capacity and safety”
Among the steps expected to be implemented is an expansion of the number of tailgating spaces available for Saturday’s cross-country competition. This will allow for increased opportunities for watching cross country while maintaining any required social distancing.
Plans for Hospitality Packages are still being formulated and will be announced before tickets go on sale in January.
“Many spectators, patrons and sponsors chose to roll over the money they had paid for the 2020 event and are anxious to hear plans for 2021” added Lee Carter, EEI executive director
“While we don’t yet know exactly what the 2021 event will look like, EEI will continue to ensure that those who rolled over their money receive maximum benefit for doing so and everyone can be sure that next year’s Land Rover Kentucky Three-Day Event will still be “The Best Weekend All Year!’”
