The 2019 FEI European Championships for dressage, showjumping and para-dressage take place this year in Rotterdam in the Netherlands (19-25 August) and tickets are now on sale.
There are two main types of tickets available — for the Rotterdam Arena, where the riding action will take place, and the Boulevard area, where you will find stands, food stalls, side-events, activities for children and a different entertainment programme every day (a ticket for the sports will also give access to the Boulevard.).
There will not be tickets for sale for the para-dressage arena. The ticket for the Rotterdam Arena or Boulevard will grant access to the para-dressage arena. Para-dressage fans are advised to be on time to avoid all seats are occupied.
As long as tickets are still available, you will be able to purchase tickets on the gate, but buying tickets online will give you the guarantee and also works out cheaper.
