Spectators

The Canberra Light Rail is the easiest way to arrive. Get off at EPIC & Racecourse and do not exit at any other stop.

From the platform, follow the crowd straight to Gate 2, have your ticket ready and enter the event.

The quicker you are through the gates, the sooner the party starts.

Tips to get in fast:

• Spectator gates are at Gate 2 & Gate 7
• Have your ticket ready on your phone. Screen brightness up, barcode clear and ready to scan. Printed tickets are fine too
• Leave bags at home if you can. Entry will be quicker and your hands will be free for food, merch and photos
• Use the right entry lane: Pre-Purchased, Platinum Fastlane, Buy on the Day or Already Wristbanded

Re-entry conditions will be confirmed closer to the event and published here.
