Plettenberg Bay Polo

Plettenberg Bay Polo is lucky enough to be situated in South Africa near the shores of a bay called the Bahia Formosa – or beautiful bay.

‘Plett’ is the destination for the discerning polo player in search of spectacular polo facilities, scenery and excitement

Plettenberg Bay Polo is an organisation that looks after the polo community residing in Plett and the visitors that come to enjoy our South African Polo ‘Mecca’.

To ensure year round top polo an idea was formed to cement the relationship between two top class polo estates, Kurland and Stonefield. At these venues Plettenberg Bay Polo plays on over 6 world class field, in almost any weather.

Additional facilities are: Stick and Ball grounds, Wooden Horse, Arenas, tracks.

TRAFFIC FLOW

—HORSES HAVE RIGHT OF WAY—

The event has a circular traffic flow with 2 entrances, one entrance for VIP Box Holders and one for all other tickets, all routes merge and lead to one exit from the venue.

VIP BOX HOLDERS TRAFFIC FLOW – ONLY VIP BOX HOLDERS, SPONSORS  AND PLAYERS

ONLY VIP Box Holders will be allowed in at the main Kurland entrance off the N2. They enter an accelerated lane into the main traffic flow and travel directly to the Pavilion. To exit the venue, they will follow the main traffic flow out of the venue.

ALL OTHER TICKET HOLDERS (includes on the day sales) – PAVILION TICKET, EAST BANK, GRAND STAND & AFTER PARTY

Entrance is off the N2, just before Kurland, onto a dirt road that leads to the back gate. This traffic flow will take you to “drive-thru” lane system. 

-       PRE-PURCHASED ONLINE:

If you have purchased online, keep in the right lanes and have your tickets ready for scanning. The lanes will take you to a toll gate where you will get your bar code scanned and receive your relevant arm bands. From this point, you will be guided back into the main traffic flow and either park for the Pavilion or East Bank. 

-       ON THE DAY SALES:

If you are planning to buy at the gate on the day, keep to the far-left lane. This lane will take you to a large temporary parking area, where you can alight your vehicle and walk to the ticket stations. All tickets (if not sold out) are available on the day. Once you have purchased your ticket you will receive your arm bands. From there you can continue in your car where you will be guided back into the traffic flow to park for the Pavilion or East Bank.

EXIT

There is one exit, all vehicles (including shuttles and taxis) must follow the traffic flow and EXIT signs out of the venue and back onto the N2. 

HOWLER CASHLESS SYSTEM

The howler cashless system has replaced the “Coupon” system of last year. When purchasing your tickets online you can pre-load your event card with credit for spending on the day. Cards can be purchased and loaded on the day from the various stations situated across the venue. Cash and card are accepted at the loading stations. 

Several ‘top up’ stations will be strategically positioned across the venue to make your experience smooth and effortless. The pavilion will also have two ‘mobile credit card top up people’ to assist you whilst in your VIP box. 

This card system is designed to speed up transaction times and therefore queue times at the food court and bars will be minimized. Simply tap your card to make a purchase.
