1. About Blue Tix
How does the Blue Tix service differ from what I could get by going to a ticketing agency?
- Premium quality seating, as opposed to 'pot luck' (for all events except 'Advance Access' and 'Last Minute Tickets'). For all indoor events, only excellent 'A reserve', or equivalent quality seating is sold.
- First opportunity to purchase tickets before the public on sale date so you don't miss out.
- Ease and convenience of booking using a credit card. There is no need to stand in queues, sleep out overnight, or spend hours trying, often unsuccessfully, to get through on the telephone to booking agencies.
- The Events Waitlist service enabling you to register your name on a waitlist for hot rumoured events. If the event is confirmed and we secure tickets, we will endeavour to email you before the public on-sale date and give you priority access. Events Waitlist registrations do not constitute a booking and are valid for 12 months after which time you will need to re-register.
- Exclusive deals on last minute discounted tickets.
- Members can register with the Blue Tix Online Club

2. Delivery
What happens if my tickets are damaged, lost or stolen?
A replacement voucher can be arranged for most ticket purchases, however a $25.00 replacement fee per order will apply. As soon as you discover that your tickets are lost or stolen, please phone us on (02) 9352 3385 immediately. A Blue Tix representative will then proceed to organise a replacement. General Admission tickets cannot be replaced under any circumstances, however these are sent via registered post to ensure delivery to your address.
When will my tickets arrive?
Our policy is to deliver your tickets at least 2 weeks prior to the event, except in unusual circumstances where tickets are delayed from the supplier. If your tickets are to be collected from the venue Box Office, this will be clearly stated at the time of purchase.
How much is Postage and Handling?
Postage and Handling for all orders costs $6.95. Box Office Pick-up orders also incur a ticket handling fee of $6.95. This fee covers the cost of receiving event tickets and posting them out to you via Australia Post, or making sure they are available for you at the Box Office.

5. Ordering Tickets
How do I make a booking if I live outside Australia?
If you are booking an event on this website and you live outside of Australia, please provide delivery details for where you will be staying during your time in Australia. Please note we cannot dispatch tickets outside of Australia – an Australian address must be provided. If you are staying at a hotel, please make arrangements with the hotel prior to supplying their address and phone number on the booking form, so that they may hold the tickets for your arrival.
Can I re-sell my tickets?
Your tickets may not be resold or offered for resale at a premium (including via online auction sites) or used for advertising, promotional or other commercial purposes (including competitions) or to enhance the demand for other goods or services either by the original purchaser or any subsequent bearer. If a ticket is sold or used in breach of this condition, the ticket may be cancelled without a refund and the bearer of the ticket may be refused admission.
Scalper Warning: In addition to the above, the resale of tickets is governed by ticket sales legislation and may attract criminal penalties.

Can I have tickets sent to someone other than myself?
Yes. Fill in the delivery details of where you wish tickets to be sent on the booking form, and uncheck the tick box at the bottom of the booking form that says, 'changes to my contact details should update my member record permanently'. This will ensure that your details are not over-written by your friend's delivery details.
Can I get cheaper tickets for pensioners, concession or children?
All tickets available through Blue Tix are the same price regardless of the age of the patron. This is because our tickets are purchased directly from the promoter at a rate that ensures we are able to offer you premium A-Reserve seating prior to the public on-sale date.

7. Pricing
What is the cost of using Blue Tix?
All tickets are subject to ticketing agency fees and a minimum service fee of $12.50. For last minute/discounted tickets, a minimum $5 service fee applies. In some circumstances a promoter's fee may also apply. Due to these factors, the ticket price is always more than the face value printed on the ticket.
A phone booking surcharge of $5.95 per ticket applies to all orders placed over the phone. By booking online you will avoid this surcharge. To contact a customer service consultant call 02 9352 3385 during business hours 9:00am – 7:00pm AEST Monday to Friday.

8. Seating
Are all events sold through Blue Tix premium quality?
For all indoor events, we buy excellent 'A Reserve' or equivalent quality seating. If you purchase tickets through Blue Tix, you can be assured that seats will be the best available. Front row isn't necessarily the best – so sit back and relax knowing that you will get the best seats based on each individual venue.
For large outdoor or high demand events, we sell tickets as Advance Access™, which allows customers to purchase before they are on sale to the general public – to ensure you don't miss out! We cannot however guarantee the quality of these seats within the selected seating category, as Advance Access™ events are usually high-demand or outdoor events and tickets are limited.
For the Last Minute Tickets service, seating quality can not be guaranteed, which is why we are able to offer them at such a great discount.
Where are these premium quality seats located?
- In THEATRE VENUES we usually sell 'A Reserve' seating located in the front half of the stalls and/or the front half of the dress circle/mezzanine.
– The Stalls are the section of seating, beginning directly in front of the stage on the ground level of the theatre generally sloping slightly upwards towards the back of the section.
– The Dress Circle or Mezzanine is the elevated section of seating that is similar to a balcony with the seating tiered upwards towards the back of the section.
– In some theatres there may be an additional balcony above and further back than the Dress Circle/Mezzanine generally known as the Grand Circle.
- In ENTERTAINMENT CENTRES our tickets are generally located on the floor and/or in the first elevation (the Floor is the flat section of the venue with seating beginning directly in front of the stage). General Admission tickets are generally located on the floor area. This area has either standing room only or unreserved seats.
- For large OUTDOOR VENUES, such as Football Stadiums, we do not guarantee seating quality, as it is too subjective, and sound and viewing quality varies.
Why can't Blue Tix tell me where my seats are located at the time of booking?
Blue Tix receives an allocation of premium seats to each event directly from the Promoter. These blocks of tickets are put on hold for Blue Tix members prior to the event going on sale to the general public. To ensure each customer is allocated the best seating possible, we always allocate seating from this allocation after customer purchase, based on combinations of tickets sold.
