Perth Cup on NYD is a day full of fashion, horses, celebrating and a great way to start the new year. I’ve been for the last few years and often get asked questions about how to have the best day.  Here a a few of my tips:

1. Organise your friends early as many tents offer early bird discounts (some even offer discounts for groups).
2. Choose the best marquee you can as if you end up with tickets to a bad tent your day will not be fun.  In my experience, The Loungeroom offers the best party vibe and entertainment if your under 30, (last year it was in a huge circus tent). MRQ is a newer marquee and is  place of style and class.  Think cool music, great food  and a well stocked bar, wooden floors (great for heals), air conditioning and plenty of space.  The other tents where Smirnoff and Las Vegas but for the same money you’ll have a much better time in The Loungeroom or MRQ.
3. Buy your ticket early as the promoters will mail them to you.
4. Arrange a limo to get you to Perth Cup in style and to get you back home when you want to go.
5. Shop for your outfit early.  The girls always go ll out and now days even the boys are putting in a bit of effort.
6. Take it easy the night before - NYD is a long day.
7. If you really want a table, then you’ll need to get in early.  The most stylish time to arrive however is just after midday.
8. Grab a race guide and make a point of seeing at least one horse!
9. After the last race, The Loungeroom is always the place to be - good luck trying to get in if you haven’t got a ticket!
10. Don’t stress and have fun!
