Bookings are essential and tickets must be booked online prior to the event. Tickets are free of charge with up to 10 tickets available per group.

When booking, we encourage you to book tickets as a group (e.g. family, social group) in the one transaction so that we can identify you as a family or social group at the event. If you do not have access to the internet our friendly Customer Care team will register you, contact them on 8256 0333.

This ticketing process is necessary for the purpose of contact tracing. Walk-up ticket bookings will only be available if ticket allocations are not exhausted prior to the event.

There will be two entry points to the event - Goodman Road and Langford Drive. There may be queues to enter the event - if queues do form, there will be 1.5m markers on the ground to encourage social distancing between groups.

Every person who enters the event site will need to complete the South Australian Government's COVID SAfe Check-In, accessed via QR code on arrival and have their tickets scanned on entry.

In order to scan the QR code, you can use the mySA Gov app or the camera on your smartphone. If you do not have a smartphone, there will be paper contact tracing forms available.

There will be a free barbecue breakfast provided. While registering you will need to select your barbecue breakfast time.

You will have a 30-minute window in which you will be able to collect your food. This is to prevent any congestion at the barbecue, reduce wait times for food and to make sure we deliver a COVID safe event. If queues do form, there will be 1.5m markers on the ground to encourage social distancing between groups.
