Final chance to enter ballot for tickets to the Coronation Concert

There are just hours left to enter the ballot for two tickets for the Coronation Concert at Windsor Castle.

The musical evening, on May 7th 2023, is part of the three day celebration that will unfold as King Charles III and Queen Camilla are crowned.

All entries for the ballot have to be received by 23.59 on February 28th 2023. The applications can only be made online – the page for entries is here.

The ballot is open to anyone living in England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands or with a BFPO address.

There are 5,000 pairs of tickets available in the draw. Applicants must name themselves as one recipient and also name the person they will be bringing along.

You have to be aged 18 or over on February 10th 2023 to apply for a pair of tickets. Children aged between 11 and 16 may attend if they are with their parent or a nominated guardian.

The allocation is being done randomly and will only be made once the ballot has closed so you have as much chance of getting tickets by applying at the end as at the beginning of the process.

The Coronation Concert takes place on the East Lawn of Windsor Castle. It will be shown on BBC One in the UK on the evening of May 7th 2023.
