The G&G Live Marquee stepped up for the Vodacom Durban July

The G&G Live Marquee is back at this year's Vodacom Durban July and is situated between three water hazards on the golf course. Production and hospitality have been stepped up to new levels, creating a relaxing milieu that doesn't compromise on buzzing party spirit.

This year's entertainment includes the recently awarded Best Drive Show D', the man with the most distinctive laugh on the airwaves, 5FM's own DJ Fresh. Also from 5FM's folds, the ever-popular Roger Goode will be keeping patrons dancing long into the night. To complete the 5FM trio is the man you either love or hate: Gareth Cliff. The well-read and highly opinionated shock-jock will be partying up a storm as he spins eclectic tunes exclusively for G&G Live Marquee guests. Support acts include resident DJ Graeme, Funky B, G-Funk, Benny Maverick, Lulo Café and Sp!ndoctor.

The G&G Live Marquee stepped up for the Vodacom Durban July

Where other tents fail to defy the ubiquity of providing drinks alone, the G&G Live Marquee features three levels of hospitality and entertainment. As in 2012, R495 will get you entry into the tented village site, access to multiple bars and the #GALAXYexperience dance floor, a food village, smoking lounge, chill areas, screens featuring the day's horse racing action and betting totes.

For R895, a VIP ticket affords guests access to the separate VIP tent with additional lounges, bars and private bathrooms. VIPs will be treated to a selection of finger foods and canapés throughout the day.

A VVIP ticket at R1595 grants patrons access to the Skyy VVIP lounge area where they will be treated to an open bar (excluding premium champagnes and spirits) until 6pm, as well as private bathrooms and access to the marquee's decks, which overlook the water features.

The Vodacom Durban July is all about the glitz and glamour and, of course, the racing. For those who bring along their lucky rabbit's foot and take an active interest in thunderous galloping to the finish line, they need not miss a thing with screens large and small scattered throughout the G&G Live Marquee displaying each riveting race. To keep energy levels up, the G&G Live Marquee will have a food court serving a variety of meals, from sushi to wraps and much more.

A limited number of lounge areas

For those after that extra extravagance one would expect at a day at the races, G&G Live has a limited number of lounge areas in both the VIP and the Skyy VVIP areas, which can be reserved for the day for a party of up to six guests. These lounge areas will be attended by waitrons and are on offer for R3000 for a lounge in the VIP tent and for R4000 in the Skyy VVIP tent. These prices are in addition to individual entry ticket and places are limited.

You can secure your place at the G&G Live Marquee from Computicket for this exclusive oasis on Saturday, 6 July, 2013, 12pm to 11pm.
