Ticketed events

Door sales will are available in most cases, unless the event is sold out.
COVID and refunds: f you are unwell please do not come to an event, we are happy to refund tickets in those circumstances.
There is a student / unwaged price for most events which you can select when you go to purchase your ticket online (concession).
On the day of the event you can just show your ticket receipt to our ushers using your phone (you don’t have to print them).

LitCrawl
There are no tickets for LitCrawl on Saturday 9 November (with two exceptions, see programme for details). Just turn up and donate if you can spare the change – we suggest $5 per event, but are happy to accommodate any amount. Please note that if we are in Level 2 closer to the time of the Festival, LitCrawl and Newtown Sunday Stroll will both become registration events. You will need to register for each event you want to go to: this is to comply with Level 2 regulations. At the point of registration you can make a donation from $0 - whatever you like. We will update everyone here and via our social media and e-news (you can sign up for that here).
We are a not-for-profit organisation. All of the income from ticket sales and donations goes straight to the making of this festival. Thank you to our generous sponsors, supporters and Verb Community who allow us to keep ticket prices accessible.
Durations
Ticketed events are 60 minutes duration, unless otherwise stated.
LitCrawl & Newtown Sunday Stroll events are 45 minutes duration.
