The Birdcage

$125pp | $1250 for 10 tickets (first release)

If you’re looking for people-watching prospects & an excuse to let your hair down on Auckland’s million-dollar night, The Birdcage is the precinct for you.

Located within the modern surrounds of our Cuvée Bar which boasts an expansive indoor/outdoor flow, you won’t get much closer to the horses with the Birdcage right beside you and the winning post directly opposite.

We’ll start the party off with a drink on arrival, will throw in a racebook so you can ‘track talk’ like the pros and have delicious food available for purchase.

All that’s left for you to do is gather the troops & get set for a night like no other!

Home to the evening’s official on-site afterparty, this area will sell out quickly and tickets will be allocated strictly in order of payment.  We warn you, once it’s sold out, it really is sold out.

If you can gather nine friends, we’ve got a ‘Group of 10’ discount to take advantage of too.

The Birdcage

Package includes:

  • Drink on arrival
  • Access to limited, unreserved tables and bar leaners
  • Cash bar featuring Champagne, standard & premium New Zealand wines, local & imported beers, RTD’s & non-alcoholic beverages
  • Access to betting facilities within Cuvée
  • Food available to purchase within the precinct
  • Racecourse and The Birdcage admission, including a racebook
  • Access to covered shade & shelter
  • Instant entry into the official *afterparty (held in this precinct after the last race).
