Can I buy tickets from somewhere other than official ticketing partners? 

To eliminate the risk of fraud, you are advised to only purchase tickets from ticketek.com.au, as purchasing a ticket from an unauthorised seller can result in the ticket holder being denied entry. Many unofficial sellers will list tickets for sale, even though they do not actually have those tickets. This is called “speculative ticketing”. They are speculating that they will be able to get tickets and then resell them to fans. Those speculative listings are not real tickets in hand (they do not actually have tickets to sell). Beware of these sellers. Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is subject to a major event declaration under the Major Events Act 2009. It is an offence for Harry Potter and the Cursed Child tickets to be sold, or offered or advertised for resale, at a price exceeding its face value purchase price by more than 10%, unless the seller is authorised in writing by the ticketed event organiser. Breaches can result in heavy fines of up to $99,132 ($109,044 from 1 July 2021) for an individual and $495,660 ($545,220 from 1 July 2021) for a company. For more information & queries regarding the Major Events Act, contact vic.gov.au/ticketscalping

What happens if there are no tickets available for my preferred performance? 

Please keep checking the website as any late-release tickets that may become available at short notice and will be served on a first-come-first-served basis.

Are there discounts available for Groups?

  • Special pricing is available for Groups 10+ on Tuesday – Thursday and Sunday evening (7pm) performances and Saturday – Sunday Matinee (1pm) performances. For more information visit Ticketek HERE.
  • How will I receive my tickets? 

  • Mobile tickets will be available 72 hours prior to the performance. There will be no outlet sales or tickets posted for this event. If you cannot find or do not receive your mobile tickets (from 72 hours before the performance only), we recommend you log into your Ticketek online account to access your mobile tickets and double-check to ensure all details are correct. Lost or replacement tickets can only be obtained at the venue box office on the day of the performance and will only be issued to the original ticket purchaser upon showing valid ID.
