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.

- 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.
