How to Book
Book tickets online. Adelaide Festival utilises different ticketing agencies for different shows dependent on venue. Following the Buy Tickets link from each event page will take you to the correct provider.
If you are a Festival Friend, you can book tickets at Friends prices for select shows over the phone on 1300 393 404 or online. To book online, follow the purchase links from each individual event page (where Friends prices apply), selecting "Log In And Book" to make your Friends booking online.
Please read our Terms & Conditions before purchasing tickets.
Ticket Suppression
Similar to many other major events, delivery of Adelaide Festival tickets will be suppressed until closer to the event date.
All purchased Adelaide Festival tickets will be delivered starting from the week commencing 12 January 2026 (including mobile, print-at-home and standard mail).
This means you will receive an order confirmation at the time of booking but your actual tickets won't be released until closer to your event, so please don't be concerned following purchase.
