Jumping Mechelen 2025 has only just kicked off, but the atmosphere is already electric. Tickets are selling at record speed, and that is no exaggeration. Shortly after sales opened, all tickets for the early programme on 30 December, featuring the Longines FEI Jumping World Cup, presented by BMW, were snapped up. Never before have tickets sold out so quickly after launch.

With the event now in full swing, ticket sales have received another strong boost. The Saturday evening session on 27 December with the BMW Masters, as well as the early session on Monday 29 December featuring the FEI Dressage World Cup, are now also close to selling out. Clearly, the appetite for top-level equestrian sport is very much alive this festive season.

For those new to Jumping Mechelen, it has long been Flanders’ most popular equestrian event. Between Christmas and New Year, more than 85,000 visitors head to the Nekkerhal to enjoy a programme that includes three FEI World Cups, in jumping, dressage and four-in-hand driving, along with the FEI Jumping Ponies’ Trophy.

And yet, Jumping Mechelen is about much more than elite sport alone. Spectacular kids’ shows, competitions for local riders, pony races that are guaranteed to make you smile and breeding events where expertise takes centre stage all add to the experience. Combine that with a warm Christmas atmosphere, packed grandstands and an enthusiastic crowd, and it is easy to see why so many people return year after year.

Those who still want to be there this year would be wise not to wait too long. The signals are clear. Other days are filling up fast as well, and it would come as no surprise if more sessions are marked sold out soon. A bit of hesitation is fine, waiting too long might not be.
