Due to a late cancellation, we now have 2 premium spots available in the corporate suite for the AC/DC concert this Sunday night at the MCG. (I am sure these people will regret cancelling this)
✨ Don’t sit outside “amongst the unwashed” in the rain — instead, enjoy the dulcet tones of the band while sipping on a chilled Chardonnay or G&T, and grazing from the prawn platter in comfort.
Original Price: $1,250 per person
Special Offer: $950 per person (limited to these 2 seats only)
For those who appreciate the finer things in life, this is your chance to experience the sweet, refined ambience of AC/DC in true style.

Just 24 sleeps till Derby Day 2024, while there is no longer the Magnificent Home Straight Enclosure to enjoy the Cup Carnival.

Mercury Principle Events this year celebrates our 29th Melbourne Cup Carnival as an official VRC partner. We have limited availability in our Skyline Private facility but can advise of other options in other areas.

I couldn't resist using a photo that had the Home Straight in it.

Unfortunately The Home Straight is officially finished the VRC have decided that it will not becoming back anytime soon and to be honest Mercury Principle Events aren’t prepared to start from scratch to rebuild it again.

We are very disappointed as it was my baby and I it built from nothing to becoming one of the most popular spots on the track.

MPE will still be providing hospitality in different locations on track so email [email protected] with your required numbers and the days you wish to attend and I will respond with options.

Well another Melbourne Cup Carnival run has been run and won, congratulations to all the connections of Gold Trip. The weather held out for the Cup and the presentations thankfully.

It was disappointing to see there was no The Home Straight Enclosure Flemington and The Winning Post Enclosure was reduced to a single storey facility. In the space where the Home Straight usually catered for up 1600 guests it was bare. Normally they would have enjoyed a day of fantastic food and beverages, watched every race from the elevated viewing area and then partied the day away in the gardens with our live band, but it was bare.

Who knows the VRC may look at bringing them both back in 2023 although I am not confident. It is a great shame as it is a fantastic location to see all the races live unlike some of the new areas that you only see one or two live races past them each day.

Mercury Principle Events offers packages to most premium sporting events including the Australian Formula One Grand Prix, Cricket at the MCG and all the AFL games at the MCG and Marvel Stadium.

We look forward to hearing from you for any of these events.

For all those wishing to book Melbourne Cup Carnival hospitality this year, there are very few options available in the price range we offered the Home Straight for in previous years. I will give a brief overview of a couple but availability is limited as so little product is being offered.

The Furphy Deck is the entry level product cocktail food with a beer and wine package. Bear in mind this product offers no protection from the elements apart from umbrellas, great if it is fine weather. Cup Day Sold Out other days available but numbers are limited.

A new facility is the Riverside Bar and Bistro it will be ok but please note you will only have 2 races actually run past you on cup and derby days, one on other days as it is located on the back turn. So if you are a keen Punter you are probably not going to be happy here. That is despite the information saying see every race up close, well you will after all but two races are finished. Cup Day $950pp.

Makybe Diva Marquee

Good location with views over the track (not from in the marquee though) been around for 10+ years plated menu with beer and wine package. Cup Day $1200 very limited numbers. Other days still available.

There are other options above $1200 per person available.

To book any of these go to the the VRC website or Ticketmaster

Sorry we don’t have any products available this year.
