Racecourse Summer Carnival is a sell-out

Perth Racecourse’s record-breaking season continues with the announcement that its annual Summer Carnival fixture has completely sold out almost two weeks ahead of the meeting.

Summer Carnival’s final centre course tickets were sold over the weekend meaning another capacity crowd at Perth when the fixture takes place on Saturday, August 17, featuring a mix of first-class jump racing and summer entertainment, including a live performance from Judge Jules.

It is the second time this season one of Perth’s major meetings has sold out well in advance, with Ladies Day in May also attracting a full house after all tickets were purchased some weeks before the event.

Now Summer Carnival will see around 10,000 racegoers fill the stunning Scone venue for Perth’s second and final Saturday meeting of 2019 in what is sure to be another memorable afternoon.

Hazel Peplinski, Perth Racecourse chief executive, said:“Summer Carnival has become the hottest ticket in town and it’s terrific news that we’ve been able to reach capacity some two weeks before the meeting.

“The stage is set for another great Perth Saturday afternoon of racing and entertainment and we hope all racegoers are looking forward to a fun-filled day in a very chilled, summer atmosphere.

“For anyone who has missed out, we still have our Autumn Raceday in early September then the two-day Glorious Finale later that month and following today’s news it seems wise to advise to purchase tickets early to avoid disappointment.”

Following another competitive seven-race card at Summer Carnival, all eyes will turn to the stage and the Judge Jules LIVE show, his only Scottish appearance this summer. The legendary DJ’s first live show when he is accompanied by musicians, Judge Jules LIVE sees Jules joined by a full 10-piece band, reimagining and reinventing a selection of poignant classic tracks from his career.
