All you basically need is a Bidder's Paddle.
Tier 1 includes one guest pass, two drink cards [10 each, per day] gala tickets, event catalog and a parking pass. Obviously, you & guest sit in the ring. You can go on the block and marshaling lanes with the paddle but not with only a guest pass.
Tier 2 does not include gala passes or drink cards.
Both are discounted if your app is in prior to early December. The VIP stuff is expensive and not really necessary.
There are financial requirements to get a paddle. Fairly simple; you can get a line of credit from Woodside or submit a bank letter of guarantee. All explained on the site.
There are other considerations to being there at that time. We have our flights booked by Labor Day. Rooms near WestWorld are not cheap and often book a year in advance. Getting around requires renting a car or paying for transportation. Hotels in the area offer free shuttles.
Our 10th year. The weather is great [usually...]; nothing to do but look at cars!
