Flemington Racecourse holds 23 racemeetings each year. Four of those make up the exciting Melbourne Cup Carnival. Outside of spring, however, there are many more fantastic racemeetings, including the Flemington Festival of Racing in March. 

General admission tickets are available for each racemeeting and can be purchased the following ways:  

• via the online store – look for the ‘Book now’ link on each individual racemeeting’s page
• at the gate on the day – year-round racing does not require pre-purchased tickets like the Melbourne Cup Carnival, but it is recommended to do so
• by contacting VRC Customer Service on 1300 727 575

Pricing can be found on each of the individual racemeeting pages, under What’s On.

Another option is to purchase the General Admission Season Pass. For only $200, this pass grants access to all general admission areas at all racemeetings in the 2012/13 racing season, including the Melbourne Cup Carnival.
