This is in addition to the previously communicated 10,000 permitted attendance on course for Lexus Melbourne Cup Day, Kennedy Oaks Day and Paramount+ Stakes Day.
Members will enjoy what is widely regarded as one of the best day’s racing on the Australian calendar from reserved seating and a more casual food and beverage offering via on-course retail outlets. To enable greater access for members to the popular indoor and outdoor retail venues, there will be no formal dining offerings on Penfolds Victoria Derby Day.
We are pleased to be able to welcome members back on-course now for all four days of the 2021 Melbourne Cup Carnival.
With the inclusion of Penfolds Victoria Derby Day, members will now have access to purchase one ticket, per membership or annual guest card for Derby Day, in addition to one ticket, per membership or annual guest card for one of either Lexus Melbourne Cup Day, Kennedy Oaks Day or Paramount+ Stakes Day.
That is, securing access to tickets for Derby Day will not preclude members from accessing other Carnival days.
