Makybe,

I am a member of Flemington and attend most meetings during the year and Spring Carnival.

General Admission provides access to most areas around the grandstands including the front lawn.

I have friends who come from Brisbane each year and always reserve seats in the Hill Stand. Unless you reserve a seat you will most likely not get to sit down all day. The front lawn area tends to get a bit messy "Drunks" during the afternoon and very squeezy for room. Without sounding "Snobby", sometimes I have had to walk through the general public to get set on the bookmakers and it is awful.

You will have difficulty finding accomodation this late in the year. Most will be in the suburbs around the CBD adding to your transportation costs. If you can find accomodation would highly recommend staying as it is a long day with racing starting around 10am.

Post any other questions you may have and I will gladly answer them.

Brad
