Tips And Advice On Going To Watch The Melbourne Cup


Are you aware of the number of people that attend the Melbourne Cup every year? An astonishing 100,000 plus people are at the track for the Melbourne Cup and you know that a lot of these people are from out of town or from around the world. Because of this huge rush it becomes important that you have some tips so that you can attend the race without worries and any problems, otherwise you would end up in some very bad experience of the race.

Tips When Coming To Melbourne

Book Your Hotel Early – The first tip that I have for you is to simply book your hotel early. With over 100,000 people in attendance there are bound to be some full hotels and if you don’t have one then you will find it rather difficult to come to the city of Melbourne for the race. Try to book your hotel at least two months before the event so that you get a good place to stay which is near the Racecourse.

Get There A Few Days Early – Reaching Melbourne few days prior to the race is also a good idea. The reason why you should do this is because there are a lot of things going on before the big race that you might want to take part in.

Go In A Group – in some cases fun multiplies then you have friends around, Melbourne Cup is one such example and I will recommend you to attend that in a group if possible. One additional benefit of going in a group is that, sometimes you can get group discounts in some places around the city and sometimes even on the track.

Have Your Betting Money Handy – Betting is the most important and fun thing you can do while you are watching the race. You will get tempted to bet soon as there will be so much betting going on around you. And it is considered that if you are not betting then you are not taking part in the race.

One more thing I would like to point out is that, just make sure you reach the track well before time so that you have enough time to place your bets and also get a nice place to sit. There will be so many events going on around, centering the Melbourne Cup and if you want to experience them all then it becomes important that you reach there on time.
