Ah that's amazing! I have fond memories of my livery yard hiring a private box up in the gods when i was a teenager, it was amazing the food was great!

Not this year as it's just a bit too much of a CV risk so close to Christmas for us 
I have taken out H&C membership though & am so excited to watch it there and on and the BBC - I've got Prosecco, a new gin and lots of posh snacks!

Friday afternoon and evening. It's my first big 'event' since Covid started so let's hope its all OK and I don't catch it. I've had my booster and driving as opposed to train. Very excited!

Judging by the number of tickets being resold on facebook this year with limited interest from buyers even for the most popular performances I’m guessing there will be a lot of empty seats. Such a shame that COVID is affecting it for a second year but can’t say I’d be rushing to go given the current situation ?

We promised small person back last year we’d go as soon as it was back, and so bought tickets when they were released. Now it’s nearly here, he’s really excited and I’m in two minds, partly really hoping it goes ahead as would be amazing to take him for the first time (and I haven’t been since 1997), and partly hoping it’s cancelled as it feels like a huge risk ?
Assuming we do go, we’ve got tickets for Monday

I do feel a bit odd with covid going around and likely to be rampant across London. But yes I’m going on Thursday. Will do a test this week, drive down, wear a mask and most of it will hopefully be in fairly large open spaces. But sitting in the arena will ofc be close contact. Doing further tests up to Xmas before mingling with the family.

We are going Thursday for the Puissance. Really looking forward to it as it is a Christmas tradition for our family. Daughter (who is now 25) has been every year it has been on since she was born. In fact, even before she was born as I went when I was pregnant with her!

I was lucky enough to win tickets and am going on Sunday evening, really looking forward to it but also wondering if lots will avoid or even if gets cancelled last minute :-(
I guess we all have to do our own risk assessments and do what feels like the right thing as an individual
strange times :-(

I think a lot of the unsold tickets are more due to the location (and a few people selling on fb didn't seem to have factored that it 'oh it's london it will be fine'). For me it's an hour across london from kings cross, for anyone in essex it's an easy drive/ride in. So going from friends house in essex instead for saturday evening, and taking precautions (wearing proper filter mask not my WOW for instance).

I have tickets for Monday, but am waiting until Sunday to decide whether or not I go. I admit I am quite concerned about how fast the omicron version is spreading and the likelihood that there will be large numbers of children at the show. I have had all 3 jabs, but still not sure it will be worth the risk. I think there is a chance that it may be cancelled anyway.

At least quite a bit of it will be on the BBC this year. I’m disappointed not to be going this time but it’s too much of a hassle to get across London.

I'm going, though I was starting to think I was going to be the only one there with all the tickets coming up for sale on Facebook. I'm so looking forward to going, even though the excel is a PITA to get to.

Going Friday evening for the Freestyle. Daughter bought me the ticket for Christmas and we have fantastic seats and champagne bar. We are both triple vaxxed and sensible. We are driving and not getting up close and personal with anyone. I will miss the hugs I get from friends who exhibit there and daughter's sponsors but can live without hugs!
For us Excel is far better than Olympia.

I’d really like to go, Olympia is one of my favourite Christmas activities.
Loads of tickets popping up on FB for sale which make it very tempting.
This close to Christmas though I won’t risk it.
It would be bad enough getting covid any time but a) missing Christmas and b) trying to find horse cover over Christmas would be a nightmare, and that’s only the practical side of thing s, as well as the actual being poorly bit

Really wanted to go but work has been too manic for us. Hoping next year to take my daughter.

I had tickets for today but have sadly decided not to go. Just don’t want to risk ruining Christmas by catching covid and giving it to the family and we all feel rotten and have to isolate.

We went and had a fabulous time. I was dubious about the new venue but it works better than olympia (worth the extra distance to get there). Looking forward to next year already!

100% agree, the extra space was most welcome! I hope it's at excel next year too!
