Spectate in Style
With a smart casual dress code, guests are encouraged to embrace the excitement of Australia’s largest sporting and entertainment spectacle and Live Fast in style.
The minimum, and acceptable standard, is smart casual; however, you may dress more formally if your occasion calls for it.
The dress level varies in the hospitality suites from smart casual to more formal.
Below are some guidelines to help assist you.
