I bought tickets for Sunday but my email says the tickets are for Saturday?! What is going on?
The confirmation email will state the beginning of the whole event.. Make sure you check the pdf attachment to ensure that the tickets have been purchased for the correct day.
If you have actually purchased the wrong ticket - no wokkas - just shoot us an email and we will fix it up for you - hello@cheesefest.com.au.
Will tickets be available at the door?
We strongly suggest buying tickets prior to guarantee a fun and cheesy weekend. If the event space reaches capacity (taking into account online orders), we will halt ticket sales at the door. We cap numbers to ensure each and every patron can get the best experience possible, and to limit wait times at stalls.
Is there a refund policy?
Yes, you can read about our refund policy on our Eventbrite Ticketing Page.
Do I need to print the tickets?
Nope! You can find your tickets as a pdf attached to your confirmation email or you can download and install the Eventbrite app.
Cash or card?
We're proud that for the first time in CheeseFest history we will be partnering with Commbank who make paying with card simple. Plus it’s much faster and reduces queues on the day.
