Answer 1

General admission ticket prices are $60 or $48 student concession and must be pre purchased. http://www.ticketmaster.com.au/melbourne...

The best way to go is by train which stops right at the course. Special race trains will depart Flinders Street (Platforms 8 & 9), stopping at Southern Cross station (Platform 14) and North Melbourne (Platform 6), then express to Flemington. Make sure you have a valid Metcard for your journey. You can also drive or taxi it, but the traffic can be horrendous and the car parks for the hoi polloi are a long way from the course.

What to wear? Most girls 'play ladies' at the Melbourne Cup. You probably can't hope to compete with the socialites who spend many thousands on their outfits, but wear something nice and stylish with a fascinator or hat. Guys wear a suit or some even hire top hat and tails, though I've always thought they look silly. Some people dress for shock value - anything goes really. Make sure your shoes are comfortable though! You'll do a lot of walking.
