Getting to Flemington Racecourse

  • Train: Flemington Racecourse station is right at the course and is used for major events; services generally run from the city via Southern Cross — check PTV for event-day timetables closer to the date
  • Tram: route 57 runs from Elizabeth Street along Racecourse Road towards Flemington, a short walk from the course
  • Rideshare and taxi: expect queues and surge pricing after the show; a CBD base keeps the trip short
  • Metro Tunnel: State Library and Town Hall stations (opened 30 November 2025) make it easy to reach the CBD from the south-east and north-west before connecting to Flemington services
  • Driving: parking at Flemington is limited on concert days, so leave the car at your apartment
