wow, a new system of lottery for the sydney tix!
Final 10,000 Sydney Big Day Out ticket sales information.
With 45,000 tickets for the Sydney Big Day Out snapped up in a few hours we have held back the final 10,000 for sale over the next ten weeks in ballot form.
The first 5,000 will be sold at $125 + bf and the final 5,000 will be at $150 +bf.
Here’s how it will work.
Each week 1000 tickets for the 2007 Sydney BDO will be made available on our website via an online randomly drawn ballot.
The ballot will be drawn at 9pm EST Thursday each week, beginning Thursday 26th October and finishing Thursday 28th December.
The weekly ballot ticket limit is 2 tickets per person.
As the Big Day Out overall has a strict limit of 4 tickets per person, if you have previously bought Big Day Out tickets and if upon entering into the ballot you surpass the 4 ticket limit, no tickets will be allocated to you. This will be strictly adhered to.
Registering for the ballot
Registrations will open at 9am EST Friday 20th October.
You will need to complete and submit the ballot registration page on this website.
Your registration will only need to be completed once and will last for the duration of the balloting weeks.
If you are successful in the ballot
An email will be sent to you within 30 minutes of the ballot draw. This will provide details of how to complete the order, ie, pay for your tickets.
You will be given 5 days to pay for your ticket order (until 9pm EST Tuesday following the ballot).
If in this time you have not paid for your order, these tickets will be forfeited and put back into the next week's ballot.
Tickets for other cities are still available so why not consider Auckland or Adelaide BDO instead of paying a scalper for their holiday.
Selling tickets for higher than the face value is a breach of the conditions of sale. Tickets sold on auction sites will be declared invalid and the ticket holder will be refused entry. You have been warned.
Good luck.
