FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Our pricing

As a non-profit, we prioritise bringing singing and music to our communities, not maximising income. We work to make our ticket prices as affordable as possible, and we’ve shifted to an early bird pricing model instead of concession pricing. This change focuses on equity, allowing everyone the opportunity to secure tickets at a reduced price and helping us keep the festival accessible to as many people as possible.

Each event will have a set number of tickets available at the early bird price. Once these are sold, standard prices will apply. This ensures we can cover event costs while keeping the festival sustainable and maintaining affordable options for our audiences.

Is GST included in the price of my performance ticket or workshop registration?

As Festival of Voices is an ACNC registered charity, we do not charge GST over tickets or workshop registrations. Please note that all prices listed are in AUD.

What do I do if I lost my ticket?

Don’t worry! In the event that you lost or misplaced your ticket, we can resend it to you if you contact us. We keep a list of all patrons for each event for these types of situations.

What happens if I have to cancel my ticket?

Tickets are non-refundable, and no exchanges or refunds are permitted unless required by the Live Performance Australia Ticketing Code of Practice or Australian consumer law. We are always happy discuss how we can best assist you.

Bad weather conditions for outdoor events

If it rains, please check the venue information on the event page of the specific event you booked for / are interested in attending to find out if the venue is an outdoor venue or not, so you can make sure you are prepared.
