Members Enclosure ticketing and Mounting Yard passes (restrictions are listed below) can be collected by the Managing Owner from VRC Head Office at 448 Epsom Road after the final fields have been released or alternatively at the Raceday & Ticketing Office on the day of the race.

Please note any ticketing collected prior to Raceday will be recorded and the information forwarded to the Raceday & Ticketing Office. Only the Managing Owner can collect ticketing on behalf of connections prior to Raceday, photo identification will be required.

The Raceday & Ticketing Office will be operational from gate opening times and will close 30 minutes after the last race.

Please note Members Dress Regulations are strictly enforced within the Members Enclosure over the Melbourne Cup Carnival. Owners not complying with these standards will be refused entry into the Members Enclosure.

Mounting Yard

Important information for Owners:

Mounting Yard Passes are distributed on a per horse basis by using the formula - 200 / No. of runners in the race (i.e 200 / 10 = 20). Please note 'odd' numbers will be rounded down (i.e 200 / 24 = 8.33; 8 passes will be issued)
All Owners involved with winning horses will be invited to the Winners Bar to enjoy the Club's hospitality after the race presentation.
All other Owners (non-winning) will be able to enjoy the Club's hospitality in the Owners and Trainers Bar which is located directly under the Owners Seating area.

Owners' & Trainers' Bar

The Owners' & Trainers' Bar (situated beneath the Owners Stand) is accessible to all Owners with the correct Members Enclosure and Mounting Yard passes 20 minutes prior to the commencement of their race and 10 minutes after.

Owners' ID

Please note that photo ID or an Owner Gold Card is essential for all owners requiring ticketing on Raceday. Owner’s Gold Cards will permit free admission to cardholders at all VRC racemeetings excluding Sofitel Girls Day Out (Makybe Diva Stakes), Melbourne Cup Carnival Preview Day (Turnbull Stakes), AAMI Victoria Derby, Emirates Melbourne Cup, Crown Oaks, Emirates Stakes, Australian Guineas and Super Saturday racedays.

Scratched Horses

Owners of horses that are scratched are not eligible for any privileges. Discretion will be used for people that have travelled long distances.

Large Syndicates

In the case of large and/or mixed ownerships it is the responsibility of the Syndicate Manager to allocate all ticketing amongst the syndicate members for the horse.

PLEASE NOTE: THE SYNDICATE MANAGER MUST COLLECT MEMBERS AND MOUNTING YARD PASSES ON BEHALF OF THE ENTIRE SYNDICATE.

Individual syndicate members will not be able to collect Members or Mounting Yard passes individually.
