Every vehicle parking onsite requires a car pass. You can purchase a car pass in the the Ballot or General Public Sale. Campervans / RVs require a special carpass. We do not generally allow festivalgoers to camp with their cars - for traffic and fire safety reasons. We do offer mini bus shuttles with luggage trailers to and from the carparking area to the camping grounds that run all weekend. Your car passes help to cover the cost of the car park shuttle, and other sustainability initiatives as well as subsidised tickets.
Shuttle buses directly to and from Gaytimes from metropolitan Melbourne will be available before the Ballot is drawn. Further information will be made available on our website shortly.
