Why did I not get a ticket to the Freestyle final day of the dressage when I am supporting the rest of the dressage days! The corporate and package deal tickets should not prevent someone who has committed to all the days from being at the best of the days.
Wish it was at Hickstead or Windsor or anywhere but the middle of London too!

Really so negative?
We are coming from another country and are mostly interested in the equestrian events. I am thrilled that we will still have access to the other events and sightseeing in London too.

Why not the Cotswolds? It is horse country, lots of space. Not all venues have to be in London, do they?

This is a question I can’t answer because I don’t think it is a good place to hold the equestrian events either.

The amount of traffic and people in the area right this second is overwhelming. I can’t imagine what it will be like while the Olympic games are on.

I can say this, leave for Olympics the day before the event you want to see, because it may take that long to get there.

Im doing homework and question 1 is “why is London a good site for the Equestrian event?” Do you know a answer?

What a shame the event will be sited at the 2nd most congested site in London, crammed into the 5th largest park and is unlikely to leave any noticeable legacy after it’s all been cleared up and the royal parks have done their job to replant that beautiful parkland.
Surely Coe / KPMG could have investigated the masses of waste land underused in east London, even around North Greenwich.
