How to attend
Buy through the Australian Turf Club. General admission typically starts around the equivalent of EUR 40 - 70, with reserved seating, dining and trackside hospitality substantially higher. Fully open to the public. Royal Randwick is reached by light rail from Circular Quay or a short taxi from the city; book hospitality early as the premium precincts sell out.
Tickets are sold publicly by the Australian Turf Club, but its website turns away every automated request, so no booking page could be confirmed - go to the club's own site and use its Tickets menu.
Insider tip
A race day ticket includes public transport travel and stays valid for the return trip until 4am the next day, so keep it with you after the last race.
