Priority access for social function tickets
Due to the high demand for tickets to our social functions, AusRAIL 2024 delegates, sponsors and exhibitors will receive priority access to book tickets to AusRAIL social events. This is to ensure that those supporting and engaging at AusRAIL are able to secure social event tickets.
Priority ticket bookings will apply to the following social functions:
- Sunset Soiree – Monday 25 November
- Women in Rail Breakfast – Tuesday 26 November
- Yellow Dinner – Wednesday 27 November
Priority ticket sales for registered delegates, sponsors and exhibitors will remain open until Friday 11 October. If tickets remain available for these events at this time, bookings will open to ARA member organisations on Monday 14 October 2024. If any tickets remain after that point, sales will open to non members on Monday 11 November 2024. We expect all the AusRAIL social events to sell out so encourage prompt bookings. Please note, those booking exhibition visitor passes will not be given priority access to book social function tickets.
