EARLY BIRD TICKETS ON
SALE NOW!

You can purchase tickets for Mornington’s Big Dance 2025 via our ticketing page. We NEVER recommend buying or selling off a third party because it opens yourself and others up to scammers and there’s a chance your ticket may not scan at entry.

There is no box office at the festival and you must pre-purchase your tickets before arriving at the Festival site. Tickets will remain on sale during the festival unless sold out prior. If you want to come to the event book early - it’s cheaper and you wont miss out!

There are no pass-outs allowed. This is a condition of our license.

Chairs are not allowed to be brought onto (we’re trying to protect the playing surface of the sporting ground). You can, however, bring a picnic blanket to sit on, or bean bags can be brought in. Bean bags can also be hired when you buy your ticket. VIP tickets come with a bean bag as a part of your VIP package.

Outside food is not permitted, as we’re supporting our amazing food vendors serving up a great range of eats all day — including gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan options. Come hungry!

No BYO drinks are allowed. The event is fully licensed with bars serving a great range of beer, wine, spirits and non-alcoholic options. You are welcome to bring empty drinking containers. We have free water available on site.

We do not offer refunds. Your tickets are transferable however - are you able to pass onto a friend?

To ensure the safety of all attendees, this Child/Youth policy is part of Mornington’s Big Dance Conditions of Entry. Infant/Child/Youth Ticket Holders (U18) must be accompanied by a parent or adult guardian with a festival ticket. U18 Ticket Holders who attend without a parent/guardian will not be able to enter or remain at the event.
A maximum of three U18 patrons may be accompanied by a single responsible adult guardian. A guardian is an adult (18 years+) who is undertaking equivalent responsibility to a parent while at the festival. Any guardian planning on taking U18 ticket holders to the festival needs to consider the responsibility involved very carefully as any actions by the minor will be the shared responsibility of the guardian/parent and the minor. Any parent/guardian who takes an U18 ticket holder to the festival needs to limit their alcohol consumption for the safety of the person in their charge. If U18 patrons do not comply with Ticket Terms & Conditions, Conditions of Entry or direction from the Wanderer Team, the U18 ticket holder and their parent/guardian may be expelled from the event.

Non-compliant behaviour includes underage drinking, consuming illegal substances and disruptive behaviour that impacts on the enjoyment and safety of the wider festival community. For any non-compliant behaviour, the U18 ticket holder and parent/guardian may be expelled from the event/banned from the event or depending on the offence face legal penalties.
‍
Any parent/guardian acknowledges that Mornington's Big Dance Festival is an all-ages event, the venue is licensed, minors may be exposed to mature themes and the parent/guardian is responsible for accompanying all U18 ticket holders in their care at all times to support the minor’s wellbeing.
