Registrations for the ballot are typically taken online or by phone (03 9657 8888) from 9:00am on the Monday* two weeks prior to each round and close at 5:00pm on the following day.
*Except when the Monday is a public holiday. Bookings will open on the Tuesday.
Members and guests who secure dining in the Members’ Dining Room (and Committee Room when available to members) will also access a Level 2 reserved seat as part of their booking.
The Members Dining Room is also a popular room for conferences, seminars and presentation nights.
