Peachy Ahoy: Full house for 35th America’s Cup Opening Day on Saturday 27th May
The Opening Day of the 35th America’s Cup is sold out and those who did not book in advance for tomorrow’s Louis Vuitton America’s Cup Qualifiers and the festivities that follow, are advised that there will be no ticket sales at the entrance.
Fans that have missed out on securing tickets at the America’s Cup Village are advised there are a very limited number of tickets remaining for spectator boats on Saturday. Further, tickets are still available for Sunday May 28th when ORACLE TEAM USA meets Artemis Racing and SoftBank Team Japan on the Great Sound. Sunday is also America’s Cup Endeavour Day, with a special focus on families and children with fun activities and entertainment throughout the day.
America’s Cup Event Authority CEO Sir Russell Coutts said, “It is great that Saturday is sold out, and the weather is looking very good for Sunday and beyond, where a full schedule of races is planned. It is shaping up to be incredibly competitive on the water, with the best sailors in the world going head to head, and the America’s Cup Village also looking magnificent. For the people that have missed out on securing tickets for Saturday, there should be opportunities to attend one of the days next week.“
While it may be customary for fans to arrive at an event with the hope of buying last minute tickets at the door, this will not possible for any America’s Cup event that is sold out. On days where the event is not sold out, this option will be available, although online sales can happen quickly so it is always recommended to pre-purchase. There will also be an option to upgrade tickets, from general admission to Grandstand seating or the Goslings Dark n Stormy® Island Bar, provided there is space available. However this option should not be relied upon as the primary source for tickets.
Tickets to the greatest race on water for Sunday, 28th May and all subsequent days of the 35th America's Cup are available for purchase online here.
