VALUE FOR MONEY TICKET OPTIONS
The National Folk Festival still offers the best value for money ~ as the most ‘luxurious’ festival experience anywhere – with major indoor venues – to hear your favourite artists in warmth, comfort and perfect acoustics in all weather.
Like all festivals, the NFF has to meet a range of costs beyond our control. These costs have increased once again this year. New costs, arising from new requirements imposed by the ACT Government, include mandatory provision of Occupational Health and Safety training for volunteers, emergency and safety contingency measures, new government environmental monitoring requirements, increased road traffic signage and the production of compulsory traffic plans.
We have also had to meet compliance costs arising from new ACT Government OH&S regulations on all events, for staff, participants and performers. Despite this pressure the festival still largely offers its tickets at less than 75% of the cost of staging the event.
Three Early Bird Periods are now available – to allow more opportunity to purchase in advance at reduced prices:
- Monday Family Tickets are now available to keep the cost down for families;
- Tent City Hire – no increase – still a bargain for comfort!
- Child Tickets bracket has been expanded from 5-12 years to 5-15 years;
- Children Under 5 are still Free;
- Reduced Early Bird Prices for Over 80’s
