TICKETS ARE WRISTBANDS,
WRISTBANDS ARE TICKETS [ top ]
This year tickets will be in the form of wristbands. The wristband does what the ticket used to do – give you entry to the festival. When you purchase a “ticket” you actually receive a wristband.
Each wristband will have a unique code on it, and each person's wristband will be electronically scanned on entry to ensure it is valid. Once you are in the festival, you need to keep your wristband on for the duration of the event. The wristband is made of a durable yet soft, waterproof material that won't irritate.
When you receive your wristband, do not put it on until the day of the festival. When that day does arrive, our suggestion is to put it on before you depart for the festival, so you know it's on your wrist and you definitely packed it! Don't leave home without it (on your wrist).
Anyone found on or approaching the festival site without a valid wristband may face charges of trespass (which carry substantial financial penalties) as well as being ejected from the site and banned from all future festivals at the venue. Be aware everyone will need a valid wristband to be able to move freely about the site, as well as use facilities like the amphitheatre, food stalls, bars, toilets and showers.
No sponsorship or advertising messages will be printed on the wristbands, we are very mindful of the wristband being on your person for a day or three.
The benefits of the wristband include:
- Speeding up the entry process at the festival gates
- Keeping the number of people at the festival as low as it should be, by visually identifying anyone at the festival who does not have a legitimate ticket (wristband) and politely showing them the door
Types of Tickets [ top ]
There are two types of tickets: A “FriSatSun Wristband” and a “SatSun Wristband”.
FriSatSun – gives you Friday, Saturday and Sunday at the festival
SatSun – gives you Saturday and Sunday at the festival
If you want to attend for Friday, Saturday and Sunday, you must select a “FriSatSun” wristband at the time of purchase – “Friday” is not sold separately.

PHOTO ID [ top ]

ANTI-SCALPING POLICY [ top ]
Please be aware that a ticket (wristband) to an event at the Meredith Supernatural Amphitheatre cannot be re-sold or transferred for profit or commercial advantage. If this occurs, the Festival wristband is voidable and the Festival wristband holder may be refused entry to or be ejected from the festival site. Note that each wristband ticket has a unique code on it and each and every wristband will be scanned at Reception when each and every patron enters the event to determine that the ticket is valid.
However, patrons are welcome to pass on their ticket if they wish to, as long as they do not do so for profit or gain. In other words, if you bought a ticket and can no longer attend, you are very welcome to pass that ticket onto someone else, as long as you do not sell it for more than face value. If you bought it for say $199 plus $8 booking fee, you can on-sell it for $207.
Practically, how this works is that for any and every event there are a certain amount of people whose circumstances change after purchasing a ticket and can no longer attend. We encourage those people to pass on their ticket to others or sell it for face value or less. You are welcome to use ebay or any other legal method to on-sell your ticket, as long as it is at face value. For every scalper that tries to sell at an inflated price, there is at least one or more legitimate person who just wants to sell their ticket at face value. Market forces dictate that the scumbag scalpers or opportunists can't sell for inflated prices as there are other tickets for sale at normal price. Good triumphs over evil. The free market reigns. That's how it's been working, and it works fine, power to the people etc etc.
But if you want to go, don't wait till then, cos there just aren't that many tickets available.
