Melbourne Motor Show this weekend
Double the size this year - a petrolhead's Mecca is held this weekend 10-12 April.
www.paintandpanel.com.auI don’t have live access to up-to-the-minute feeds right now, but here’s the latest I can summarize from recent reports on Melbourne Motor Show tickets.
What’s happening
- The Melbourne Motor Show often sells out in advance for popular sessions (noting that the event has seen Saturday GA tickets sell out with remaining Sunday availability in recent years).[3][8]
- 2025 recaps show Saturday GA tickets selling out early, with Sunday tickets in shorter supply and some add-ons like fast passes or business lounge limited.[8][3]
- For 2026, official channels indicate tickets are on sale and pricing is in the same general range as prior years (GA from around mid-$30s AUD, family passes around ~$99), with the show positioned as Australia’s largest automotive showcase.[7][9]
Ticketing guidance
- If you’re aiming for the peak Saturday session, buy early since that day tends to sell out quickly.[3][8]
- Family passes and add-ons (fast passes, business lounges) tend to sell out faster than general admission, so consider bundles if you want a smoother or more premium experience.[7][3]
Where to buy and what to expect
- Official Melbourne Motor Show ticket pages are the best source for current availability and pricing, and they typically list multiple ticket options (GA, family, passes, and lounge access).[9][7]
- Reputable automotive media outlets in Australia frequently report on sell-out patterns and provide quick updates when tickets move to sold-out status for particular days.[8][3]
Illustrative example
- In 2025, Saturday GA tickets sold out in advance, with remaining Sunday tickets and limited add-ons, illustrating the high demand for the event and the advantage of early purchase.[3]
Would you like me to check the latest live ticket status and current prices for 2026 from official sources, and provide direct price and availability details for your preferred day (Saturday vs Sunday) and any add-ons? If you share your location (you’re in Buffalo, NY) I can also advise on travel considerations and potential flight/ticket packages. I can also provide a quick comparison table of typical 2025–2026 pricing and availability if that would help.[9][7][3]
