Get your paws on discounted Crufts 2015 tickets



Following a highly successful Crufts 2014, which saw almost 160,000 dog lovers enjoy the world’s greatest dog show, the Kennel Club is offering the opportunity to buy tickets for Crufts 2015 at a discounted rate.

For a limited time tickets for Crufts 2015, which takes place from 5-8 March at the NEC in Birmingham, can be purchased with 10% off this year’s admission and Best in Show ticket prices.

Until 30 April, weekday tickets will cost £14.85 for adults and weekend day tickets cost £15.84 at the discounted rate, with Best in Show tickets starting from £15.75 (prices subject to fulfilment fees). Children under 12 will continue to go free.

When the discount period ends tickets, including Best in Show tickets, will formally go on sale in September, at 2015 rates, which are yet to be confirmed.

Caroline Kisko, Kennel Club Secretary, said: “We saw a fantastic turn out to this year’s event, as visitors came along in their thousands to see the world’s biggest dog event. Many people have already asked us about next year’s show and so we are offering dog lovers and Crufts fans the chance to buy tickets for 2015 at discounted prices.

“Crufts celebrates the British love affair with dogs in a unique and special way and we are so pleased that people continue to get so much pleasure from the event. The show reflects the extraordinary and special relationships that people have with their dogs.”

To book tickets for Crufts 2015 at the discount rate visit www.crufts.org.uk/ticket-office or call the Ticket Factory on 0844 444 9944.
