The club has turned to an online-only ticket sales system with no tickets to be sold on the day at the gate. Club secretary Michelle Gobbert said the move was designed to ensure smooth planning to give attendees the best possible experience.
"We are sitting at 2600 [tickets sold] at the moment so probably by Saturday we will be at that 3000 mark," she said.
There were 2200 patrons at last year's event, post Covid, and this year is expected to be bigger and better.

The club has taken a hit in recent years with drought, Covid and then the floods.
Gobbert is hoping people will come out in droves to celebrate.
"It is really nice because we have lost our last two meetings this year," she said.
The abandoned meetings include the Moree Cup meeting, which was called off due to rain.
On Saturday, there will also be fashions in the field while American singer Zach Zurcher will perform after the last race.
Tickets are available on trybooking.com.
The club is also encouraging people to use card facilities with cashless bars and drink tickets.
