How do I get my tickets?
When you purchase a ticket you will receive an email with your booking details. Present this (on your phone is fine) to the ticket office to receive your festival wristband. The ticket office will be at The Whitsunday Sailing Club. From the main street just walk along the waterfront toward the big tent! The office will be open from Thursday 8th of November. Further details will be sent closer to the event.
