Wednesday 2 October 2024: A second day of the Fox Australian Supercross Championship’s season opener has been added after day one of the event sold out. After five years, the championship is returning to Queensland with the Moreton Bay Region selected as host.
Kayo Stadium in Redcliffe will house the sellout crowd on Saturday 12 October and tickets are being snapped up for the additional day on Sunday 13 October.
Queensland supercross fans are expected to descend on Redcliffe and surrounding beachside destinations including Scarborough, Clontarf and nearby Bribie Island.
“Our message to Supercross fans looking to be part of the first Queensland Supercross event in half a decade is – get in quick to secure tickets for the Sunday if you haven’t already done so,” said Tash Wheeler, CEO of Visit Moreton Bay.
“If you are heading to the region for the event, or you missed out on tickets but still love adventure, we encourage you to explore beyond the stadium from our hinterland to coast. There are plenty of activities for families and adventure seekers, such as 4WD adventure tours, whale watching, winery tours, fishing, dolphin and dugong experiences and scenic helicopter flights,” added Wheeler.
Timed after the Spring school holidays, Wheeler said there are great deals to be had with local accommodation including camping, hotels and holiday homes across the region.
Fans at Kayo Stadium will enjoy a unique double header format for the opening round offering two main races. Australian and International elite riders will headline the event including Chad Reed – a record holding Aussie motocross and supercross racer.
“Chad Reed and other supercross legends tell us they are excited to start the season in the Moreton Bay Region with many arriving early to enjoy the surroundings ahead of race day,” said Kelly Bailey, Championship Director.
“We are yet to kick off at Kayo Stadium in Redcliffe and already the entire team and athletes are feeling the warm Queensland welcome from the region,” added Bailey.
Sunday’s tickets are available at Ticketek.
Ends.
