After two years of the Durban July being behind-closed-doors, racing fans, fashion lovers and socialites are set to return to the popular event.

Ticket sales continue to be brisk in the build-up to the big day, and with the lifting of crowd restrictions and the requirement to present vaccinations certificates, the organisers will be selling tickets on the day from Gate 9, Gate 15 and from the Boomtown hospitality venue.
