The Melbourne Festival has long been acknowledged as one of Australia’s leading international arts festivals. With a reputation for presenting unique international and Australian events in the fields of dance, theatre, music, visual arts, multimedia, the Festival takes place over 17 days each October. 

We here at AussieTheatre.com are excited to announce some Early Bird specials for the festival, which are available until 31 August, and also let all of our colleagues in the Performing Arts know about the Local Artist Card.

The Local Artist Card enables local members of the arts community to engage with the Festival at the best rate.  

Benefits of the Local Artist Card:

• Concession Tickets – two concession priced tickets to each Melbourne Festival managed event (not for premium reserved seating)
• Special Discount Offers – card holders will be given prior notification of special offers for Festival presented shows
• Opening Night Party – successful applicants will go into the draw to win a double pass to the Opening Night of the Festival. (Drawn on 16 Sep)

Purchasing Tickets Using Your Card:

• All tickets must be purchased IN PERSON
