Western Australian Government to assist RASWA with discounted tickets for Perth Royal Show

The Western Australian Government is investing $1.9 million in this year’s Perth Royal Show to assist the Royal Agricultural Society of Western Australia (RASWA) to deliver the eight day event and ensure ticket prices are affordable for families – providing a 25% discount across all ticket categories.

The event is the largest community event in Western Australia and is held at Claremont Showgrounds from 23rd to 30th September 2023.

A further $650,000 grant through Lotterywest will provide up to 17,000 disadvantaged people with free admission, food and ride vouchers.

This includes those with special needs, culturally and linguistic diverse communities, Aboriginal people, people living with a disability, and people from regional areas.

This year's Show will bring the country to the city from 23rd-30th September, showcasing WA's diverse agricultural industries and efforts to supply premium quality food and fibre products to domestic and export markets.

The WA agriculture industry contributed $24 billion to the State economy in 2022, supporting more than 52,000 jobs and exports worth $15.4 billion.

The Perth Royal Show attracts about 350,000 people and almost 4000 animals and livestock, many of which feature in competitions that showcase the best of the State.

The event typically receives more than 5400 competition entries, spanning dogs, pigeons, poultry, horses, cattle and sheep, as well as cookery, crafts, shearing and woodchopping.

The State Government funding will also assist RASWA to develop an online portal to support regional agricultural show delivery and undertake a social and economic impact study of the Perth Royal Show.

The event is the largest community event in Western Australia and is run over 8 days at the Claremont Showgrounds from 23 to 30 September 2023. Tickets go on sale from 9 August 2023 and you will be able to access tickets on our website here.

This year, there will be a ‘money can’t buy show experience’ for patrons that purchase their tickets in the first two weeks of sale.

Tickets go on sale from 9th August 2023. For ticketing details and more information visit www.perthroyalshow.com.au.
