The Melbourne Cup Carnival attracts more than 250,000 racegoers to Flemington and a global audience of more than 750 million, generating over $422 million for the Victorian economy each year, a figure unrivalled by any other major sporting event.
Victoria Racing Club CEO Steve Rosich said Cup Week is on track to deliver an exceptional and affordable experience for all.
“This year’s Melbourne Cup Carnival will again deliver the iconic sporting and entertainment event the nation loves, while offering great value for money to ensure the whole family can be part of the action,” Mr Rosich said.
“We have brought forward the availability of early bird general admission tickets and they are available for longer to provide even greater accessibility and value for money.
“We can’t wait for what promises to be a blockbuster week of sport, fashion, entertainment, food and wine, drawing hundreds of thousands of visitors to the state and supporting local jobs and businesses across Victoria.
“Last year at Flemington alone 16,194 people from more than 570 companies were employed to help put on one of the greatest shows on earth, and planning is well under way for another magical Melbourne Cup Carnival.”
