Planning your race day Planning your race day

What you need to book your tickets

• A MyTicketmaster account. If you don’t already have a MyTicketmaster account, you can set one up at ticketmaster.com.au/user 
• A valid debit or credit card
• Your membership barcode and the barcode number/s for each member or annual guest card holder you are booking tickets for. Your membership barcode can be found on the back of your physical membership card or on the digital membership card.

Handy tip #1: Download the Ticketmaster Mobile App to access, share and manage your tickets on your phone. Turn on push notifications to receive reminders from Ticketmaster prior to on-sales.  

Handy tip #2: If purchasing tickets for a group, nominate one member to book on behalf of the group and have ready the barcode numbers of all the membership or annual guest cards you intend to use.

How to book via Ticketmaster

1. Once the race day or event you wish to book for is on sale, head to the VRC Tickets page and select the relevant race day or event.
2. On the race day or event page, select ‘Unlock Member Tickets’ and enter the membership barcode numbers for each person within your booking group, including any Annual Guest Card barcodes. Enter one barcode per line, and a maximum of 10 barcodes per transaction. Then select ‘Validate’.
3. Select ‘1’ for each barcode you have entered and for any guest tickets. For Melbourne Cup Carnival, if booking Dining, please note all tables in dining venues (excluding The Atrium Flat and The Peak) are in set sizes and members will need to select the number of tickets equivalent to the table size (e.g. a table of 6 will require 6 members/guests to be selected).
4. Select ‘Find Tickets’, then ‘Get Tickets, and proceed to payment.
5. Your ticket/s will be available immediately in your MyTicketmaster account on the app or website, which are shareable with each person within your booking group. Please note: you will receive a confirmation email from Ticketmaster, this is not your ticket.
