FIRST NATION TICKETS

 

Applications now closed for 2026

The land on which the festival occurs forms a sacred part of the territories of the Yorta Yorta Nation. We acknowledge that the sovereignty of the Yorta Yorta peoples was not ceded, and colonial impacts to their people and land continues until this day.

As guests on this land, we ask that all visitors to the festival recognise how privileged we are to host the event in such a special place along Dhungala (Murray River) — together we must commit to treating this priceless place with respect. We are also committed to facilitating opportunities for Yorta Yorta & other Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander First Nations peoples to attend the festival.

As part of this commitment, we offer free Tickets to Yorta Yorta people and half-priced Tickets ($209+ booking fee) to non Yorta Yorta First Nations people. Tickets are limited to one per applicant.

Tickets are offered on a first come first serve basis and applications will close 23 June 2026 or when the Ticket allocation has been exhausted - apply early to avoid missing out. All successful First Nations Ticket applicants will be notified by 26 June 2026 if not before.

FAQS

  • As part of this commitment, we offer free Tickets to Yorta Yorta people and half-priced Tickets ($209+ booking fee) to non Yorta Yorta First Nations people. Tickets are limited to one per applicant.

  • Applications will be reviewed and assessed on a first come first serve basis. Applications will close 23 June 2026 (or whenever the maximum allocation of Tickets has been exhausted, whichever is first).

    This allows us to offer First Nations Tickets to successful applicants + notify anyone who has not been successful so they can still enter the Ballot if they so choose to.

  • Successful applications will be notified via email as they are assessed, all successful applicants will be notified by 26 June 2026. If you have not received a confirmation by the 26 June, the only way for you to try and secure a ticket to SF26 will be by registering for the General Ballot.

  • When registering for a First Nations Ticket you will have two choices:
    1. Auto-purchase which means you enter your card details and if you are successful the Ticket will automatically be charged to your card - this is the fastest and most hassle free way to get your Ticket.

    2. Notify-me - if your application is successful you will be sent an email and have 24hrs to enter your details and complete the checkout process. After the 24hrs your Ticket may be offered to another applicant.

    Please make sure to enter all your personal details correctly so they match your legal ID. First Nations Tickets are not available for resale and can not be transferred or refunded.

    Tickets will be allocated on a first in, best dressed basis.

  • When you arrive at the festival, you will need to supply not only your First Nations Ticket but proof of identification to validate that the Ticket is being used by the true applicant.
