The build-up to the 2013 Spring Racing Carnival continues with the Victoria Racing Club (VRC) announcing general admission tickets for the 2013 Melbourne Cup Carnival are now available through Ticketek Australia.

Racing fans can now secure their admission to one of Melbourne’s biggest annual celebrations, with this year’s Carnival sure to be one of the most memorable on record.

And for the first time the VRC’s partnership with Ticketek will introduce a convenient and sustainable method to purchase tickets through the Ticketek mobile platform, which includes mobile site and iPhone app.

Racegoers will also be able to select mobile ticket delivery to receive their tickets via SMS, and will simply need to present their mobile ticket at Flemington for entry. This new initiative is in-line with Flemington’s Green Fields program, promoting green and sustainable energy and minimising waste.

Melbourne Cup Carnival general admission and reserved seating boasts value for money and on course experience, with ticket prices remaining at last year’s prices. The VRC will again offer free entry to children under 16 who are accompanied by an adult on all four racedays while concession ticketing options also exist.

The four-day Melbourne Cup Carnival commences with AAMI Victoria Derby Day (2 November), followed by Emirates Melbourne Cup Day (5 November), Crown Oaks Day (7 November) and Emirates Stakes Day (9 November), with over 350,000 racegoers expected to attend.
