We accept a range of concession cards including seniors, full-time students, and health care cards. You will be required to show proof of concession when entering the venue. Eligible concessions are listed at checkout.

Shows may offer discount tickets for performances early in the season. If you purchase these tickets please be mindful that there may be a few production 'kinks' to iron out.

Some events may offer a discount if you purchase tickets as a group! So grab your friends, your colleagues or the people squished up next to you on the 96 tram and book together. Group prices are displayed on the event page for eligible discounts.

Some events may offer a family discount. A maximum of 50% of your group can be adult tickets, with the rest made up of children under 16 years old. Family prices are displayed on the event page for eligible discounts.

Children under two years old may be admitted to some events without a ticket, provided they sit on the lap of their parent or guardian. Excludes 18+ events.

Lots of our events are free! However, some still require you to secure your place by booking. You can secure your place online in the same way you would book a regular ticket. No fees apply for ticketed-free events booked via midsumma.org.au.

Entry to non-ticketed free events is subject to venue capacity and at the discretion of venue staff.
