AGE RECOMMENDATION

Good Things Festival (GTF) in Melbourne & Brisbane is a licensed event recommended for a mature audience 15+, 

Sydney for the first time this year is open to patrons under 18, however it is different to Melbourne & Brisbane and only open to patrons aged 16+.

All young people aged under 18 (15+ in Melb & Bris, 16+ in Sydney) are required to be accompanied by a responsible adult and each person attending must have their own valid ticket. During the purchase process anyone buying an under 18 ticket will be required to also purchase an over 18 ticket and provide information on the adult you will be attending with. Each Responsible adult will be able to have 2 youth attend with them. This information will be printed onto a wristband and posted to you prior to the event.

Unfortunately we are not able to welcome anyone under the age of 15 to the event

The event has the capacity to be very loud, have high intensity crowd movements, bands that may use profanities in their performance and patrons drinking alcohol. Children under 15 will not be admitted as GTF cannot guarantee the health and safety of small children.

In the event that you are assessed at entry as being under 15 years, you will be required to provide validation that you are actually over the age of 15. If you are found at the event without your guardian and your wristband on, you and your guardian may be ejected from the event for breach of safety.

CARERS/COMPANIONS

We understand that some people have a need for a full time carer or companion. GTF will allow a valid ticket holder one free entry ticket for their legitimate carer.

Please purchase your required ticket and then e-mail info@oztix.com.au with your current carer or companion card information, or written proof of your status as a Carer and we will issue you one free ticket.

SAFETY @ GOOD THINGS

You must have a current Photo ID to enter. All patrons must have a ticket and it is an offense to enter the venue without a ticket.

Photo ID is required to purchase alcohol regardless of your age. It is illegal to provide minors with alcohol and anyone caught doing so may be prosecuted and ejected.

Some of the artists appearing at Good Things may use lyrics, language or gestures whilst entertaining that some people may find offensive. If such language or behavior concerns you, please do not attend. If you believe such language or behavior is unsuitable for minors, please do not allow them to attend.

Any patron found to be unduly intoxicated or under the influence of drugs on arrival or within the venue will be referred to police or security as the case may be.

A small bag (No more than A4 Size) or backpack is allowed but remember that it will take longer to get into the show & if you want to cloak it in, it will add more queues to your day.

Check the ticket conditions for restricted items conditions such as Video cameras, alcohol & umbrellas. No spike collars, studded belts etc will be allowed.

Make sure you pace yourself, drink plenty of water, eat some food that will give you some energy & be sure to get rest, when you can, to maximize your enjoyment on the day.

There will be free water stations located within the event site to re-fill your empty bottles once inside.

FIRST AID

There will be First Aid located at or next to the Stages to treat people who are genuinely ill or have injured themselves on the day.

ACCESSIBILITY

GTF will be an accessible friendly event as much as we can possibly make it. There will be accessible viewing areas where possible at each stage area. Disabled toilets are available around the site. We suggest that you are accompanied by a friend as with all major events navigating through the crowds can be difficult and we recommend that you stay clear of the mosh pits. As long as you plan your day and leave a bit of extra time to move between stages there is absolutely no reason why you should not have a great day and be able to see the bands you love. For further information, please see our accessible FAQ page

We understand that some people have a need for a full time carer. GTF will allow a valid ticket holder one free entry ticket for their legitimate carer.

Concessions

GTF believes we are all equal. There will be no discounted tickets for pensioners or members of the venue association etc.
