Bartabas is well known in France for his equestrian productions of high quality. Tickets for April 27 are still available. Hope you enjoy it!

Barbara,
Thank you so much for this. Google Translate and I are working on the ticket page right now. I'm getting an error message no matter how I enter my cell number. I've tried +1 before my number, and I've tried leaving off the +1 after choosing the US flag icon. I'm sure it's user error somewhere on my part. Any ideas?

Try setting up your FNACaccount in the regular way, not express inscription:

Let me know how it’s going…if all else fails, go to a FNAC store and buy the ticket there.

Ruth, I found sometimes I need to do 00, not, +1.

Hi again Ruth, I think the US mobile number problem has to do with recognized phone number area codes. I tried 2 different mobile numbers with my FNAC account: the one with area code 424 was immediately accepted, the one with 310 was not. The FNAC system must have an incomplete listing. In both cases I used the US flag drop-down +1. For midweek I think it’s likely you’ll be able to get tickets at the FNAC store.

Barbara, I was almost there on the second link you sent, when I got involved with another issue on my phone with a friend. When I got that resolved, my tickets had timed out! 😩 Will try again in a few minutes when I calm down. This is the farthest I’ve gotten, so I think it’s going to work. I have to run much of it through Google translate, which really slows down the process. Persevering. You’ve been so helpful! Merci!

Thanks, Jet. I've tried 00 and every possible configuration of parentheses, no parentheses, spaces, no spaces, phone, laptop.... All with no luck.

Barbara, Thanks again for helping. Last night I emailed my hotel and asked them to buy the tickets for me. Waiting to hear.
Today the academy emailed me to use the website www.bartabas.fr, but that goes to the same FNAC site that doesn't recognize my phone number. Will let you know when I succeed! And somehow I will get those tickets!

Success! I emailed the academy again and explained the problem with the website. They wrote me back and offered to reserve my tickets.

If it’s a good weather day, the plan is to take the train out to Versailles early afternoon, watch the riding exhibition, tour the stables, then rent a golf cart to joyride through the gardens. Thanks all for your help.
