MobTix and Affordability Ticket Programs
MOBTIX
Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras is committed to working closely with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities from Australia to celebrate and elevate First Nations LGBTQIA+ Sistergirl and Brotherboy culture.
The MobTix program has been designed to create opportunities and accessibility for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, and for First Nations peoples including Māori, Pasifika and Global First Nations friends to attend our events and ensure participation in the festival.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are eligible to request to purchase discounted tickets through the Sydney Mardi Gras Mob Tix program. Subject to availability, the program allows you to purchase two tickets at $49* + bf each for one event (nominated in the form below).
EVENTS APPLICABLE FOR THE MOBTIX PROGRAM:
Tickets will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
WHO IS ELIGIBLE FOR MOBTIX?
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people from Australia are eligible for the MobTix program, as well as Māori, Pasifika and First Nations people from other countries.

Please make sure you keep an eye on your Junk Mail folder in case the email goes there.

Following the instructions received in the email, you will be able to purchase your ticket/s to one event until the event is sold out or the allocation is exhausted. Ticket limits apply. When purchasing tickets, you must use the same email address that you used to sign up.
PLEASE KEEP IN MIND
Once the allocation has been exhausted, no further MobTix will be available. Get in early!
Our ticketing providers, Moshtix and Ticketek, work with LatitudePay and Afterpay to allow for deferred payments for ticket buyers. This may assist you further when managing your ticket purchases.
