There’s a limited window for fans to lock in their place at one of the biggest events on Australia’s sporting and social calendar, with the Victoria Racing Club (VRC) launching a special three-week offer on Melbourne Cup Carnival tickets, starting on Wednesday, 2 April. Until Wednesday 23 April, a wide range of ticketing options and experiences are on sale at some of the lowest prices in years, starting with the general admission Flemington Pass. Entry is free for children under 12 when accompanied by an adult, and all tickets include access to the Live Stage, where top musical acts will perform during the Carnival. The discounted tickets follow a bumper 2024 Melbourne Cup Carnival, which saw record attendance and growing enthusiasm for the event. “The Melbourne Cup Carnival is one of the world’s biggest sporting and cultural events, bringing together the best in racing, live entertainment, fashion and hospitality, and there is an option for everyone,” said VRC CEO Kylie Rogers. She added that the VRC is committed to keeping the Carnival accessible: “We are very pleased to be providing limited-time prices for Flemington Pass tickets until 23 April, to deliver even greater value for money.” Anticipation is already building for a bigger 2025, with these early bird deals offering fans a way to plan ahead without breaking the bank. For those seeking an upgraded experience, a selection of premium hospitality packages is also now available. These include access to exclusive areas like The Parade Lounge, The Rose Room, Skyline Lounge and Dining, The Terrace, and the Makybe Diva Marquee – ideal for groups wanting to elevate their race day. Mates Rates packages are once again on offer, giving punters a chance to secure prime front-lawn spots right on the winning post for Crown Oaks Day and TAB Champions Stakes Day. Reserved seating in the Lawn Stand for Victoria Derby Day and Lexus Melbourne Cup Day is on sale, as well as tickets for The Club Lawn and Hill Stand, all of which provide prime views of Flemington’s iconic home straight.
