Abu Dhabi - Arabstoday
The inaugural Coutts Polo at the Palace was unveiled today at Emirates Palace. The two-day tournament promises polo as you have never seen it before with new ‘Palace Rules’ developed by the sport’s best players to make it one of the most spectacular spectator sports in the world. Representing some of the world’s leading centres of finance and fashion, the four teams – team Abu Dhabi sponsored by Coutts, team London, team Milan sponsored by Maserati and team Buenos Aires – will compete for the Coutts Polo Cup over two days of adrenalin-fuelled action. The exclusive event takes place 23-24 November on the West Lawn in the Palace Gardens, Emirates Palace, where a custom-built polo field, one third smaller than a regular polo field, creates the most spectacular polo venue in the world. Admission is restricted to 1,000 people per day to make sure every guest gets a fantastic, up-close view. The hospitality tickets, starting from AED1,750 per person per day, offers full catering throughout the day with access to either the shared VIP Hospitality which is limited to 250 people, or one of five Private Chalets catering for up to 50 people. These are expected to sell out quickly, so organisers advise to book early to avoid disappointment. An additional 300 general admission tickets for AED250 per person per day will go on sale 10 November. These will be available to buy directly from Emirates Palace.
