Tickets are now on sale for the opening round of the 2018 FIM Motul World Superbike Championship (WorldSBK), set to take place at the popular Phillip Island circuit in Victoria on 23-25 February.

In a first for WorldSBK at the island, all three-day ticket holders in 2018 will gain a free paddock pass. Access to the paddock was an expensive privilege in the past, although the circuit is eager to bring fans closer to the riders.

A three-day paddock entry means you’ll mingle amongst all of the international teams and be freely able to attend autograph sessions, rider media conferences, and on-stage entertainment in the paddock from Friday morning through to close on Sunday afternoon.

WorldSBK is affordable with a three-day pass priced at just $120, while you can add camping at the circuit campground for up to four nights, with spectacular views over the track and Bass Strait, and you have the perfect location for a summer long weekend away with your mates or family.

Indulgent Bar SBK passes are available at $260, where you can gain access to three undercover facilities, or go for a VIP option in the fully catered suites above pit lane. Kids 15 years and under are free, and so is your bike if opt to ride into the venue. For more information, visit www.worldsbk.com.au.
