You can let us know about your seat preferences at the time of booking (including if you’d like to sit with someone especially or not, or move for example closer or further back from your last festival attendance).

However, at the moment you cannot pick your own specific seats at time of booking, unfortunately. This is because we have a variety of booking mechanisms – online through our website and offline via the telephone and booking forms – and all of these methods arrive at different times to the box office. As such, seats will be allocated by the festival team.

Your seat allocation will be advised to you at the welcome desk when you arrive on your first day.

We value greatly both new and regularly attending patrons. Many of you are like family to us!

In general, seating is allocated in order of ticket purchase. The sooner you book, the more likely it will be that you get your precise preference.

Entire Weekend attendees have priority over single-day attendees.

Regular, past attendees will be allocated their same (or very similar) seat(s) as previous attendance, if they book by end of the Weekend Pass early bird pricing period – unless you have told us your preferences have changed.

The festival caters for special dietary needs.

You can let us know of your special food needs or dietary requirements when booking.

If circumstances change, please contact us well ahead of the festival dates so that we can plan properly.

We are committed to an inclusive, welcoming environment that respects and values the contribution of all people regardless of ability, age or background. We acknowledge that one-in-five Australians (over four million people) live with some form of disability (1).

Many of these people experience serious disadvantage in areas such as education, employment, and access to cultural events including the arts. We recognise that under Federal legislation, it is unlawful to discriminate against someone based on their disability or treat a person with a disability less favourably than a person who does not have a disability (2).

We are committed to ensuring people with a disability can engage with the full range of our annual programs and seek to encourage participation through the ongoing development and delivery of our artistic and audience strategies. We liaise with our venues to provide accessible seating options for our performances and endeavour to provide key information in a simple and accessible format where-ever possible.
