    Spectator advice for Mondial du Lion

    Thanks for the answers. Hobo, what was the problem at the WEG? Thanks Ricotta and Weob. I didn't really know how big an event this was. I'll have a car, so I'll just plan to stay somewhere in the area and drive. I haven't decided how many days to go yet, but I'd definitely want to go on one of...

    Spectator advice for Mondial du Lion

    Another question - any recommendations on where to stay? I'll be traveling solo and would prefer to be somewhere that I can walk to a few restaurants for dinner and preferably a bakery for breakfast.

    Spectator advice for Mondial du Lion

    Hi everyone, I'm thinking of attending Mondial du Lion this October 15-18 as I was already planning a trip to the Loire valley. I was hoping for any suggestions from people who have been. Is a car the best way to get there? They list a bus from Angers on the website, but it only seems to run...

    Longines Royal International Horse Show Info

    Thanks. That's helpful information. I think I will just go with general admission as I doubt I'll get there early enough to get a table up front since I'll be coming on the coach from Brighton. I'm planning to attend on the Thur and Fri (19th and 20th July) as I only have 2 days and would like...

    Longines Royal International Horse Show Info

    Thanks. I did get it to work. For some reason I have to click on the show name 2 or 3 times before it goes to the ticket screen. It helped to know that it worked for you since I figured there must be something I could do to get it to work.

    Longines Royal International Horse Show Info

    A couple more questions that I've thought of: Is there any reason I need to buy my tix in advance (long queues, limited number of tickets, better seating, etc)? I ask because I can't figure out how to do it on the Hickstead site. If I click on tickets, it asks for a login, with no link to...

    Longines Royal International Horse Show Info

    Thanks again for all the advice. Sounds like I should just go with the general admission. I'm going solo so can really just go with the flow. I'm surprised the view is better from general admission as that is the only thing I'd really think would be worth paying more for. On the National...

    Longines Royal International Horse Show Info

    Thanks Faithkat. The pictures do help. I can't see the people very well in them, but they don't look especially dressed up. I was afraid I would have to do the whole heels/dress/hat thing. So there is a covered general admission seating? I didn't see that in the pix, but maybe I missed it...

    Longines Royal International Horse Show Info

    Hello everyone. I hope this is in the right place as this is my first time using these forums. I will be coming from the US to London in July and would like to attend the Longines show at Hickstead. I am planning on the 19 and 20 July. I have been told that I can stay in Brighton and take...
