The demand for tickets for the World Equestrian Festival, CHIO Aachen 2008, is very high. However, tickets are still available for all days, although some categories are already sold out. "It is certainly noticeable that many nations will be deciding their Olympic teams during Aachen," commented Frank Kemperman, General Manager of the Aachen-Laurensberger Rennverein e.V. - "the spectators are aware of this too and are thus securing their tickets in good time."

Five disciplines spread over ten show days will attract the visitors to the Soers in Aachen from June 27th - July 6th. The final Sunday is already almost completely sold out, only standing room tickets for the jumping stadium are left. Equally sought-after are tickets for the spectacular opening ceremony on the Tuesday as well as for the popular "Horse & Symphony" concert, where the Symphony Orchestra and some of the world's top riders are once again inviting the public to join them in the Deutsche Bank Stadium on the evening of June 28th, to enjoy the interplay between horses, riders and classic music at the highest possible level.

All further information on the five CHIO disciplines; show-jumping, dressage, eventing, driving and vaulting is available via the ticket hotline: +49-(0)241-917-1111.
