Climate
In March, Melbourne enjoys mild to warm autumn weather with daytime temperatures ranging from 20°C to 26°C (68°F to 79°F) and cooler nights around 12°C to 16°C (54°F to 61°F). The city typically experiences moderate humidity, plenty of sunshine, and occasional short rain showers, with around 40-50 mm of rainfall for the month. While generally pleasant, Melbourne is known for its unpredictable weather, so it’s best to dress in layers to adapt to quick changes. Breezes, especially near the coast and Albert Park, can also be common.
Albert Park Circuit specs
The Australian GP 2026 dates have not yet been announced. However, based on previous years we expect the event to be held in late February/early March 2026 making it the Formula 1 season opener.
The Australian GP 2026 will take place at the Albert Park Street Circuit. This scenic track is located about 10–15 minutes south of Melbourne’s CBD and winds around the picturesque Albert Park Lake. While it’s a public road for most of the year, the circuit features permanent pit buildings for the event.
Based on previous years, we expect tickets to go on sale in late 2025.
Our travel packages will be available shortly after the 2025 race (April 2025) and for fans booking early, they will be offered tickets when available, but without guarantee, at face value plus a booking fee of no more than 10%.
The first option is to purchase Australian GP 2026 tickets through the official Australian GP website or Ticketmaster, either via the ticket ballot or General Public release. However, these tickets often sell out quickly, don’t offer the added benefits of a travel package, and may lead to booking flights and hotels at inflated prices with limited options for groups or corporate bookings.
The second option is to book grandstand tickets or hospitality suites through a travel company offering ticket-inclusive packages.
While our travel packages are not yet available, you can expect the following:

Events Travel STUNNED us!
Events Travel provided an amazing hotel, walking distance from the Australian Open and tickets that stunned us day after day, game after game. We have already booked Wimbledon with them. No wonder my A.I. search for the best tennis packager placed Events Travel at the top of the list. That’s where they belong.
Everything as Promised
Events Travel delivered everything we wanted as promised – great seats and excellent accommodations at a fair price. No surprises, no hassles. We’re already on the waitlist for next year.
For my wife’s birthday
The whole thing went really smoothly – from the planning to the execution. The accommodation and tickets were excellent. I could not have imagined anything better👍
The booking was easy
The booking was easy, professional and a great team to deal with. Any questions we had were answered in a timely manner and friendly staff. Second time we have booked with them and we are happy with their service. Thank you.
Very convenient. Book everything together.
Booking through Events travel gave us the opportunity to purchase Australian Open tennis tickets prior to the general ticket sales. They gave us an extensive list of hotels to choose from. We booked tickets at Rod Laver arena which we were very happy with. We hope to use Events Travel again.
