Useful Booking Information

How to Book

Adelaide Festival utilises different ticketing agencies for different shows, depending on venue. If you click through to the show you want to buy from the What's On page, the Buy Tickets link from each event page will take you to the correct provider.

If you are a Festival Friend, you can book tickets at Friends prices for select shows over the phone on 1300 393 404 or online. To book online, use the Buy Friends Tickets link from each individual event page (where this price type applies) to make your online booking.
