The Great Ticket Breakdown: A Choose Your Own Adventure
Tip: Share one insight from this post with a friend.
The Full Monty Adult: $47.50 gets you a full day's access. Prepare to conquer showbags, dodge dodgems, and become embarrassingly invested in the sheep shearing competition (we've all been there).
The Thrifty Trifecta (Concessionaires & Students Rejoice!): For a cool $34, you can enter the showgrounds and unleash your inner showbag champion. Just flash that pensioner card, student ID, or senior smile with pride.
Mini Showgoers on the Loose (Ages 5-14): These lucky ducks score entry for a mere $25. Get ready for a sugar high of epic proportions and possibly a lifetime supply of plastic spiders.
The Night Owl's Dream: The Show After Dark Don't let the day crowd steal your shine! For $29 (adults) and $15 (children), you can enter the show from 4 pm onwards. Enjoy the dazzling lights, minus the daytime mayhem (well, maybe a little less mayhem).

Tip: Take a sip of water, then continue fresh.
Here are some additional tips to maximize your Melbourne Show experience:
- Look out for Early Bird deals! These can shave a few bucks off your ticket price.
