DIGITAL TICKETS
As part of our sustainability and COVID-Safe practices, we issue digital tickets. To protect our customers from scalping and to make tickets easier to locate in your inbox, tickets for the 2023 festival will not be issued until late May. If you have any questions or concerns you can get in touch with the team via email at ticketing@rising.melbourne.
REFUNDS AND EXCHANGES
Unfortunately, it’s not possible for RISING to refund completed bookings, except as required by law or in accordance with the LPA Ticketing Code of Conduct. We also offer refunds as part of our companion card system, where a refund can be given for a pre-paid companion card ticket if required.
Exchanges are possible, subject to availability and a $3 per-ticket exchange fee for tickets booked via RISING. Exchanges are only possible between the performances of the same show. Please contact the customer service team at ticketing@rising.melbourne at least 24 hours prior to your booked event, with your order details, a preferred available timeslot and the approval to charge exchange fees to the card used for booking.

Under the Act, it is illegal for a ticket to be resold, or offered or advertised for resale, for more than 10% above the face value purchase price of the ticket, unless the seller is authorised in writing by the event organiser.
Breaching this Act can result in heavy fines up to $109,144 for an individual and $545,220 for a company. Purchasing a ticket from an unauthorised seller can result in the ticket holder being denied entry to the event.
