Competition Session and Event Tickets: 

Are your family or friends interested in seeing you compete, or would they like to attend the Parade of Champions, Afterglow or Masterclasses? If so, they can purchase session and event tickets via: https://www.trybooking.com/DBAER

Our Wrest Point venue has PLENTY of seating for friends and family wishing to watch us in action. Because of this capacity, we are offering free entry to children under 13 who are accompanied by a paying adult. Please book your child ticket(s) via the above link when purchasing any adult tickets. 

A ‘session’ is defined as the competition up to a scheduled break. Each session costs $40 and will also entitle the holder to attend the awards presentation at the end of that day’s competition.

Tickets purchased through Trybooking will not provide allocated seating with a chorus; that can only be done through the full convention registration process. Session ticket seating is available in the unallocated areas in the Plenary Hall section at the rear of the auditorium.

Non-delegate tickets for the Parade of Champions and Harmony Sunday are also available for $50 each. Note: If you have purchased a convention registration, your entry to these events is included.
 

YouTube Live Stream:

The Quartet Competition, Chorus Competition and Parade of Champions will be live-streamed on YouTube! These videos will also be available for later viewing. You will be able to access the live stream via the Sweet Adelines Australia YouTube channel HERE.
