But some people (such as me) are at university half of the year and so are limited in the events they can do. I compete at BE90/100, but with being over 4 hours away half of the year, I can only fit in around 4 events in the holidays anyway. It doesn't mean I don't take going affiliated...

If you send BE an email (info@britisheventing.com or something like that!), asking for them to free it up they'll do it quickly! Have a look on your membership page where it lists your day ticket though - it shows what event the ticket is allocated to, so you can see if it's been freed up...

Ditto above, am not very impressed with the BBC supposedly showing the 'whole' of the evening's performance, then cutting it off before it ends. And watching online it was having trouble during the jumpoff for me. Was already annoyed at having to watch it online at all - not sure why people with...
