Jousting in Schaffhausen a Success!

According to tournament organizer Arne Koets, over 14,000 people came to watch the Grand Tournament at Schaffhausen which was held in association with an exhibition of knightly arms and armour at the Museum zu Allerheiligen. Quite the turnout considering that the stands were only built to hold an audience of 890, the weather was frequently "inclement" and one of the jousts was held during the final match of the World Cup. According to Arne,"Quite a few shows were sold out, and the visitor numbers were much higher than expected. About 80% of all possible tickets sold."

And, of course, there is more TV news coverage of the Die Grossen Ritterspiele zu Schaffhausen:

Although the live jousting is over, there is still time to see the rest of the exhibit of knightly arms and armour which will continue until September 21 at the Museum zu Allerheiligen.
