Mechanically, that narrows and clarifies which tickets fall within the Act’s delegated rule for admission on Anzac Day, shifting the practical classification responsibility onto event organisers and enforcement authorities and creating modest compliance and administrative effects.

Specifically, they define that a **general adult admission ticket** to either a **large race event** (like horse racing) or a **professional sport event** falls under this category.\n\n**Why this matters:**\n\nThe *Anzac Day Act 1960* restricts certain commercial activities on Anzac Day morning (before 1pm) to preserve the solemnity of the commemoration. However, the Act allows exceptions for events where people hold \"prescribed admission tickets.\" These regulations specify exactly which tickets qualify—essentially allowing large professional sporting and racing events to proceed on Anzac Day morning, provided attendees have paid for general adult admission.\n\n**Who it affects:**\n\n- **Sports and racing venues** that want to hold events on Anzac Day morning\n- **Spectators** attending these events\n- **Venue operators** who need to know which ticket types exempt them from the restrictions\n\nThe regulations also **repeal the old 1961 regulations**, replacing them with this updated 2016 version.\n\n**In short:** If you're running a major race meeting or professional sports match on Anzac Day morning in Western Australia, and you sell general adult tickets, you're allowed to open.
