Re: Re-Entry at WEG

Just spoke with the WEG office (Julie, really nice and helpful, at 859-255-2010) about entry/re-entry to the WEG grounds. As she explained it (and as COTH oldnewbie confirmed), each event ticket automatically includes a grounds general admissions. If you hold more than one event ticket (for example on the Thursday/Friday dressage days of Three Day Eventing there are two separate ticket events: morning dressage, and then afternoon eventing dressage at 1:30 pm).

She recommended only have the morning ticket scanned, then you may leave the grounds to go to your car mid-day, then re-enter on your separate afternoon ticket. This will help us tremendously on Thurs/Fri for meals at the car. Looks like we’ll have to buck up and pay through the nose for food for Saturday and Sunday. Now it will just be a question of how much time it will take during the lunch break to go back and forth from the grounds to the car. Also, the bike racks are across from Legacy Trail, not close to the entrance, so no advantage to bringing a bike to get around the parking lot. :frowning:

Also, no she said no folding chairs are allowed for Saturday XC. She said I could bring a cane chair for the Senior Citizen who will be with me, but if you don’t have “special needs,” I would call and check in advance, to be safe.

Thanks for confirming this!! I have eventing tickets and was wondering about the dressage days/grounds passes.

No folding chairs??? That is insane… makes me glad I am not there. I don’t have “special needs” with respect to a parking placard or anything but I have scoliosis and I’d be just about crippled at the end of a day without a chair with back support.

re: folding chairs

Just called the WEG office, who confirmed folding chairs will be allowed for Saturday cross country only. I purchased this off Amazon.com today, will be lighter than a chair, but will give me something to rest on…

they are totally not caring if people bring in food, so why not just bring your sandwich instead of going out to the car?

Just re-visiting this–someone on another WEG thread said they had changed their policy about exit and re-entrance to the park; in other words, they WERE allowing people to exit and come back in. Anybody know if that is true if you do not have a second event ticket to be scanned; or is it still the case that you can leave and come back in only if you have multiple event tickets for the day?
(I know, I know–call and ask them…just wondering if anyone can confirm.):slight_smile:

I was told yesterday that you could leave and re-enter the STADIUM, by the people working the gate. Not the park itself.

However I would certainly still ask as I was leaving the stadium as I am not sure I totally believe it.
