Getting Tickets
Tickets are available both at the gates and online. However, the most cost-effective way to purchase tickets is online – https://www.iwannaticket.com.au/event/freds-pass-rural-show-2024-MzAzNjk . The cheapest tickets to the show are those bought online before the 1st April. Even when ticketing company fees are added to our online ticket prices, these tickets are still cheaper than buying your ticket at the gates (see the comparison tables below). We encourage patrons to purchase their tickets online before getting to the entry gates to save money and gain express entry.
Please note that a standard booking fee charged by the ticketing company applies to online purchases.
