Review for Crown Perth Review For Crown Perth Google User Nov 6 '13 at 8:42 I attended Melbourne Cup at Crown Grand Ballroom in 2011 for the garden soiree and it was much better and cheaper! This years, was outrageously expensive, and there was nothing to show for it. Over priced, food was tasteless and bland, service was poor, no effort went into presentation of the ballroom, no little gift bags under the seats like previous years, seemed like they had cut back on their budget, yet still charged an outrageous price for tickets. Very disappointing, and will not be doing it again. View full site to comment or like
