I wish... but there's no way in you know where I can afford tickets.

Ditto. OUTRAGEOUSLY expensive, but really really wanna go. Guess I'll just have to stick to Rolex.

I know they are expensive, I am planning on just going to two different events and not being there long. If I can get tickets for the team vaulting and the obstacle driving it will be $85 per person. I didn't think that was to terrible. Dressage and reining on the other hand *faint*. The hard part is going to be finding the lodging. :shock:

ACC, can't you get press badge for taking photos? :D

I really have no idea where I will be in a years time but I need to at least try to make it. :)

I know. I wanted to see the eventing and it would be $305 for one person just to see all the eventing. Its CRAZY.

I'm planning to attempt to get a press badge... I just don't know how to go about it.

ACC you need to contact the organizers and present your credentials (read portfolio) to demonstrate you are a professional equine photographer and not just "someone wanting a free pass" - lol. The best part is that once you are accepted and credentialed, they will usually contact YOU for future events (I loved working in the newsroom at the paper - free field passes to games like Carolina/Dallas :love ). Good luck.

I thought we had to go through a publisher to get credentials? Does just my portfolio do the trick?

I'll be there! I'm part of a mini horse driving drill team (http://www.minimystique.org" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) and we were accepted to perform there :) Can't wait! I also want to watch the combined driving, as that is my main love :)

Cool Chey! Congrats too!

That is great, Jesse!!! What days will you be there? I'll be there Oct 8th and 10th. I got my tickets ordered first thing today!!!

So lodging seems to be the biggest issue!! There are rooms available but you are talking rooms that are normally $75-$125 are now $200-$350+ a night!!!! I don't think it is right to charge so much more!!! They are going to book solid no matter what the price but why do they need to be so greedy. :( I understand that they will be busy and fully staffed for the event but you would think it wouldn't triple the room prices. I can go to Louisville and get a Days Inn but I have NEVER had a good experience with them. Oh well, I'll just keep looking.

I forget which days we'll be there! But I'll have to look it up and let ya know :) The team planned it around my days off work for me :)

I got my tickets in the mail today!!!! :bounce
