The public is invited to request Coronation concert tickets, which will be allocated based on where they live.
The BBC has promised that the “historic” concert, which will take place in the grounds of Windsor Castle on Sunday 7 May, will bring together “musical icons and contemporary stars”.
Members of the public have a chance to win one of 5,000 pairs of tickets. Voting is open from February 10 to midnight on February 28.
Ticket allocation will be based on the geographic distribution of the UK population rather than a first come, first served or random selection system.
The BBC insisted that the vote would be fair and that those living in sparsely populated or densely populated areas would have an equal chance of success.
A spokesman said: “Like last year’s Platinum Party at the Palace, there are robust systems in place to ensure tickets are allocated fairly, regardless of where people live, to ensure a proportionate number of tickets make their way to applicants from every area. of the United Kingdom.”
The concert takes place the day after the coronation.
A 74-piece orchestra comprising the Massed Bands of the Household Division will lead the festivities, along with the Countess of Wessex’s String Orchestra.
The musicians will accompany “some of the world’s greatest entertainers” as they perform a series of well-known classics on the East Lawn of the castle.
There will also be performances from the dance and art worlds and a selection of spoken word sequences delivered by stars of stage and film, probably in a nod to the King’s deep love for Shakespeare.
The concert starts in the afternoon and lasts until late in the evening. Guests will be standing rather than seated and therefore must be over 11 years old.
When it rains, the stage is covered but not the audience and umbrellas are not allowed.
Successful applicants will be notified in mid-April.
The 10,000 winners of the public vote will be joined in the audience by volunteers from the King’s and Queen’s many charities and affiliated organisations.
The remaining tickets will be made available to organizations supporting youth, the military and the environment, as well as their local communities and the wider Commonwealth.
Charlotte Moore, BBC Chief Content Officer, said: “The Coronation concert on the BBC will bring the nation together to celebrate this momentous occasion and we are delighted to be able to offer the public the opportunity to be a part of the event at Windsor Castle. through a national vote, and by providing the public with exclusive coverage on TV and radio.
The concert is planned to appeal to the King’s love of classical music, marking a remarkable shift from the rock and pop extravaganzas that celebrated so many milestones of the late Queen’s reign.
An avid and lifelong supporter of the arts, Charles has often spoken of the joy he derives from incorporating classical music into the special occasions of his life.
One of the highlights will be the performance of a Coronation Choir, a diverse group that brings together amateur singers from the country’s “most industrious” community choirs, such as refugee choirs, NHS choirs, LGBTQ+ singing groups and deaf sign choirs.
An application form distributed last month showed that the organizers were looking for people from all ensembles, from duets to “great classical choirs.”
The formation will be captured for a BBC documentary to be broadcast shortly before the coronation.
The concert is organized in consultation with the Royal Household. The king is said to be “actively engaged and engaged in” every aspect of the various celebratory events.
