POLO BACK IN TOWN WITH ADDED HORSEPOWER

-

The tickets for the festival are capped at 3000 people.

Local players Beau Skerrett, 31, and Mark Lillyman, 38, will play for royalty, dignitarie­s, executives and fashionist­as with deep pockets.

“It’s definitely one of the biggest crowds we play in front of, it’s hard to get people to drive away from the beaches and coffee to watch a game of polo,” said Guanaba local Mr Lillyman.

All inclusive tickets start at $330 which gets guests food and beverages, including Pol Roger Champagne.

For the hipsters tickets to the more casual Polo Lounge are $84.80, where guests will hang out in a beer garden.

The event is also expected to bring cash to the city with Gold Coast Tourism hosting a ‘This is Gold Coast’ event which will show 90 guests the best the city has to offer in the hope of snagging contracts for future conference­s.

Ferrari Brisbane will have plenty more vehicles like this 2016 twin turbo 448 GTB out on show with Gold Coast buyers accounting for about 40 per cent of their sales.
