A ballot is being held to distribute 10,000 free tickets for the coronation concert of King Charles III to members of the public, the BBC press office announced on Thursday.
The national broadcaster revealed that 5,000 people will receive a pair of free tickets to attend a May 7 concert on the grounds of Windsor Castle, which is being televised live across the entire BBC network. The concert is taking place a day after Charles' coronation on May 6.The allocation of tickets will be decided on the geographical spread of the U.K. population rather than on a first-come-first-serve basis, the BBC press office said. Winners will be selected after February 28.
"We are thrilled to be able to offer the public the opportunity to be part of the event," BBC Chief Content Officer Charlotte Moore said in the statement. "The coronation concert on the BBC will bring the nation together to mark this momentous occasion." The coronation itself will be "a solemn religious service, as well as an occasion for celebration and pageantry," conducted by the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby, the palace said.
