Membership, Unlimited & Pricing
One of the biggest questions athletes ask is:
“What’s the best way to enter?”
The answer depends on how many categories and shows you plan to enter throughout the season.
Before looking at Membership and Unlimited, it’s important to understand how Pure Elite pricing works.
Enter Early And Save
Pure Elite operates three pricing periods throughout the season.
Super Early Bird
Up to 10 weeks before show day.
Category Entry: £79
Tan: £79
Early Bird
From 10 weeks until 2 weeks before show day.
Category Entry: £99
Tan: £85
Standard Price
Within 2 weeks of show day.
Category Entry: £125

The earlier you enter, the more you save.
Many athletes secure their place early, lock in the lower price and focus on their preparation.
