London 2012 Greenwich timetable

15 February 2011
Ticket to Ride 2
The full London 2012 Olympic Games competition schedule and ticket prices have just been released including all the dates and prices for the Equestrian events which will be taking place in Greenwich Park. Start planning your visit today...

Here's where you can find out about all the Equestrian and Modern Pentathlon events in Greenwich Park and, even though our website is dedicated to the Maritime Greenwich World Heritage Site, I'm including a link to all the other event details here. Aren't I nice.

The tickets will be on sale on 15 March for six weeks – until 26 April, that is.  It won't be first come first served, according to the organisers, so you can apply any time during that month and a half.

As I said in a previous post, which I'll repeat here: "Tickets for the Modern Penthathlon events are probably the best bet for those of us on a leaner budget, coming in at £20.00 and £35.00. In the Equestrian events, you can  pick up tickets to the dressage and the jumping for £20.00 for the preliminary rounds and £35.00 for the finals. There are also some higher prices ranging from £55.00 to £275.00 which, presumably, gets you a seat in the stables, a free rub-down and a bowl of hot mash. The cross country day is a straight £55.00."

And if 2012 still seems a long way off, don't forget there's a test event in Greenwich Park this summer.  Three days of International Eventing on 4-6 July will be followed by two days of Modern Pentathlon on 9-10 July - those dates still to be absolutely confirmed.

There will be news about tickets later in the year, we're told. The test event will be on a much smaller scale to the real thing -  the stadium will hold around 4,500 as opposed to the 22,500 planned for 2012 -  but you'll be able to get a good idea of how things will work. Exciting, isn't it...
