  • BUYING SEASON

    You may be required to present photo ID or a concession card to verify your identity at the gates. Name changes on tickets can be processed by emailing tickets@folkfestival.org.au. You can do this once per ticket, up until the 28th February 2024. After this date, tickets are no longer transferable.

    Once you have purchased your ticket online, you will receive a confirmation email with your PDF ticket. At the entrance of the festival, you will show the PDF and ID to receive your wristband. The wristbands grants you entry and exit from the festival.

    BUYING CAMPING & CAR PARK PASSES

    Camping and car passes are only available to Season Ticket holders. Camping must be purchased at the time of purchasing a Season Ticket. Where possible, all patrons sharing a tent/site should be included in a single transaction. You may choose up to two campsites in a single transaction, but please remember that these need to include all members of your party camping at those sites.

    Once you have selected the type and number of tickets required for your group, please select a campsite option. There are five camping zones to choose from, and three of these zones have powered options. Power is only available to pre-paid powered sites.

    If you select a Powered Site, you will be required to choose a numbered site. If you would like to be near friends, please coordinate with them. General/unpowered campsites will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, so make sure you arrive with friends if you would like to camp with them. Once you have selected your site, you will need to select the camping option for each of the people camping on your site.

  • If you’d prefer to buy your tickets on the day, just come to either of our two Box Offices at the Festival site and purchase your tickets in person.

    Due to popular demand, we are also bringing back Evening Tickets this year! Perfect for night owls, these tickets admit you to the Festival site after 5pm. They are only available at the Festival Box Offices, so make sure you plan ahead!

  • Children of all ages are welcome at the National Folk Festival. All children over 12 months of age are required to wear a wristband. A contact phone number must be registered against each wristband issued to a child/youth at the time of purchase. This is a security measure that enables Festival security and staff to access securely held contact information to reach a responsible adult on the Festival site in the unlikely event that a child becomes separated from their parent, guardian or responsible adult.

    All children aged under 16 are required to be accompanied by a responsible adult at all times.

  • Every attendee at the Festival will be issued with a barcoded wristband. Photo ID is required for collection from the Festival Box Offices. The name on the allocated wristband must match the photo ID of the wearer. Festival Management reserves the right to request photo ID at any time. All wristbands will be available at the entry gate for your collection.
