Current COVID-19 Policy (3 Feb 2022)
We know there's a lot of uncertainty around COVID and vaccinations. Here's where we stand at the moment and we hope this provides certainty for you to make decisions.
According to the current Queensland Health directives, participants and audience no longer need to provide proof of vaccination.
This is the same for indoor and outdoor events at this point in time, though we expect this to change between now and April - June.
We will keep you updated around any potential changes and build up a list of key resources to make it as easy as possible for you to manage at your event.

- Make it easier to sell tickets at the venue. Instead of setting up Stripe or carrying lots of cash, provide people the link to buy it online and people can buy a ticket UP UNTIL THE OFFICIAL SHOW START TIME.
This worked extremely well last year when it was brought in for COVID and made it a lot simpler for your front of house.

- People are saying their QR codes aren't printing on their tickets. Unfortunately, this approach was not working reliably so we turned off the QR codes on tickets a couple of weeks ago.
- What proof do ticket holders have to show? Each ticket purchaser was sent an Order email and a ticket email. Both have the details you would need to check them in.
Looking for a coupon code to provide to customers. This can be created by us for you. Things like a percentage or $ discount per ticket is the kind of thing we can set up for you.
The print programs have been delayed, primarily due to every part of the design and supply chain being hit by floods. We are working to get this ready as soon as possible and will provide updated times to proof these for each region.
