Why have ticket prices increased?
The Dublin Horse Show is a not-for-profit event delivered through the RDS Foundation. Despite significant cost increases facing all events and industries, the Dublin Horse Show has been benchmarked against similar festivals and ticket prices have been set where we are confident that we continue to offer a superior event and attractions at a better price point.
