There will be 10,000 free tickets available for the star-studded coronation concert at Windsor Castle, the BBC has announced.
The event which will be staged on the castle’s East Lawn and is set to feature global “music icons and contemporary stars” will be the first time a concert has been held in the grounds of the Berkshire royal residence, the BBC said.
Those who don’t get tickets will be able to tune in from home as it will be available to watch live on BBC One, BBC iPlayer, BBC Radio 2 and BBC Sounds, with the line-up due to be revealed in the coming weeks.
How to get tickets to King Charles III’s coronation concert
Members of the public can enter the national ballot to secure tickets when it opens on Friday, February 10 at 7am.
The coronation concert will take place on Sunday, May 7 at Windsor Castle.
They are invited to apply for tickets via the BBC website and the ballot will close just before midnight on February 28.
Winners will be allocated based on the geographical spread of the UK’s population and not on a first-come, first-served basis, with 5,000 people each given a pair of tickets in the ballot run by Ticketmaster.
The Ticketmaster website link will only be live when the ballot begins.
Winning ticket holders will be selected after February 28.
The concert will be held outside and is expected to begin mid-evening and last for around 2-3 hours.
No umbrellas, folding chairs or large flags will be allowed into the arena.
The standing area will be uncovered and open to the elements so concert-goers are advised to bring a waterproof coat in case it rains.
While there is no dress code as such, on a list of frequently asked questions on the BBC website, guests are urged to “please avoid wearing clothing with large slogans and offensive wording”.
