Question 1

Ticket Options 2025

Events Manager · Accepted Answer

Full price $184 will be applicable from 1 January 2024. If any tickets are available they will be sold on the gate at $199 per adult and $50 a child. We encourage all planning to attend to secure tickets early to not miss out!

FREE tickets are issued to volunteers who help organise and run the festival, 2 x 4 hours shifts are required for a free ticket and a free festival shirt. Companion cards are accepted for FREE tickets also

Given the high increase in costs to organise such an event, and the demand for live music in Central Queensland, the festival committee decided to minimise the work load on our entire team and not issue any day tickets for 2023, 2024 and this will be the case again in 2025. You can decide which favourite artists that you would like to see across the 3 days and 2 sizzling summer stages!

We are focused on providing the best possible event for all attending!
