Race day starts with a ticket.

ARDC-run events sell through Humanitix, the club's official ticketing partner — every card on this page routes straight to the right checkout. A handful of majors are staged by independent promoters who ticket on their own platforms; those cards link out to the official event site instead. Either way, you're always buying from the source, never a reseller.

At major events, kids 16 and under are free with a paying adult — every child, every day. Adult general admission starts around $35–$45 depending on the event, and weekend passes are the best value if you're coming both days. Selected events also offer payment plans at checkout, splitting your order into automatic instalments.

To club events, yes — members and their guests get free entry to events like the CMC Shannons Sydney Classic and exclusive access to member track and social nights. Members also get first access when major-event tickets go on sale. See what membership includes.

No — your e-ticket arrives by email the moment you book. Save it to your phone and have the QR code ready to scan at Gate A. If your battery dies, the gate crew can look up your booking by name.

Public grandstands, the viewing hills and — at most ARDC events — the open paddock, so you can walk the garages between sessions. On-site parking is included at most events. Upgrades like pit-lane walks are offered per event at checkout. For gates, parking and accessibility details, plan your visit.

Gates for major events typically open 08:00–09:00 with track action from mid-morning — your ticket email states the exact times. Come early: the paddock before first practice is half the experience, and the coffee queue only grows.

Racing runs rain or shine — a wet circuit is part of motorsport, and some of the best races happen in it. If severe weather forces a cancellation or reschedule, your ticket automatically carries over to the new date or is refunded under the event's terms. You'll be emailed either way.

E-tickets can be transferred to another name through the ticketing platform if your plans change — mates can go in your place. Refund windows vary by event and are stated at checkout before you pay; when in doubt, call the club on +61 2 9672 1000 and a human will sort it out.
