There is also the option for the early entry ticket, which includes a special Thursday evening concert. (We'll tell you who's playing soon.)

Best price tickets can be found via the various family bundle options. (Please just do the math and check that they work for you, perhaps a combination of family bundle and single tickets may be required.)

The Gum Ball is an intimate and family friendly celebration of music, arts and culture, hosting an impressive line-up of Australian and international acts, plus the cream of local rising stars. The festival also features a tantalising mix of food, market stalls, kids activities, indigenous learning, creative workshops and other natural wonders.

It is essentially, suggested to be one of the best culturally significant community gatherings you will ever attend.

 PLEASE READ ABOUT YOUR TICKETING OPTIONS 

Your ticketing options include

💥  Full weekend tickets | ON SALE NOW | Which are three days of festival and three nights camping, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Head on out the Monday when you're ready. To break down the value of this ticket, an adult ticket is generally valued around $95 per day, which includes camping (vehicle based camping requires an additional pass) and the ability to BYO. So compare the market and you'll see its a pretty good value festival option.

💥  Flexi Single day tickets | NOT ON SALE YET - Basically you pay (slightly more than) a full weekend ticket for a flexi ticket and this gives you the ability for a partial refund once you have checked out of the festival. Flexi tickets exist because of the way the festival is set up. We'd rather not have to worry about staunch gate security each morning. Simply pay in full, and claim the refund when you check out - prior to 11am. This means that a flexi ticket is the only single day ticket option for anyone who wants to come Friday and/or Saturday, but not the whole weekend.

💥 Saturday and Sunday | NOT ON SALE YET - tickets pretty straight forward concept, festival entry from 9am each day.

💥 Sunday only ticket | NOT ON SALE YET - come in on the last day and dominate.

💥 Early entry Thursday night camping ticket |ON SALE NOW | Perfect for those with a big rig or van. Goes well with a Full Weekend ticket, Thursday night concert, gives you four magical nights of shenanigans.

💥  Family Bundle Tickets | Handy for some families with a certain amount of clinger-oner-ers. Hit the drop down to see if they suit you're requirement.

💥 Vehicle and Trailer passes |  In order to preserve campground space and track the free walk in car park please grab the appropriate car pass/es. The FREE parking pass lets us track how many cars to expect in the free parking area at the front gate - from there you can walk in. If you wish to bring any kind of vehicle into the campground, such as a passenger vehicle, bus, ute, 4wd towing a caravan or camper, then you need to purchase a suitable vehicle pass. This ensures that only required vehicles are brought into the campground. There is free parking outside of the campground if you need to bring a vehicle, but don't need it to camp.
