Tips & Advice
- Season tickets with camping have sold out, so if you haven't bought yet, look at day tickets or season tickets without camping.
- Book the Woodford Festival Express ahead and have your festival ticket ready, because you can't board the coach without a valid one.
- Only bottled water is allowed on the Festival Express coach, so finish any food or drinks before boarding or the driver will ask you to bin them.
- Cyclists should book the free luggage drop with Epic Cycles for the week before the festival, then ride in light and get priority at ticketing.
- The train line is often closed around this time of year for track maintenance, so be ready to use replacement buses, which carry bikes in their luggage compartments.
Special Events & Promotions
- The Opening Ceremony starts the festival, and the Closing Ceremony is held on New Year's Day.
- The festival programme launches on Saturday, October 17.
- Payment plan tickets, priced at the next tier above the current round, are available until 31 October.
- Christmas Day camping is an add-on for season ticket campers only.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I get to Woodfordia without driving?
Season campers can book the Woodford Festival Express, a return coach from Roma Street, Chermside and North Lakes that drops you at the Eastern Bloc ticketing gates. You can also take the train to Caboolture, then catch the Coast and Country shuttle bus or a taxi to the festival gates.
Can I bring children?
Yes. Youth and child tickets are available, and toddler tickets are free for kids aged five and under. Anyone under 18 has to be with an adult, and that adult needs their own ticket.
Can I cycle to the festival?
Yes. Brisbane-based season ticket holders get a free luggage service: you drop your bags at Epic Cycles in Paddington the week before, and you have to book it with them. Cyclists get priority if there's a queue at ticketing, and they can camp at One Less Car Camping near the Welcome Gate. It has a marquee for secure bike parking and luggage storage.
Do I need a pass to bring my car?
Yes, you'll need a car pass. There are passes for a vehicle at your campsite (season), the overnight campgrounds, long-term or day parking at the Eastern Bloc, and sleeping in your vehicle.
Can I arrive and camp on Christmas Day?
Yes, but only if you have a season ticket with camping. Christmas Day camping is an add-on for season campers.
