Buying or Selling Your Ticket

In 2013 we introduced Aunty’s Ticket Resale Service to provide legitimate sellers and buyers with a trustworthy and reliable way of putting tickets in the hands of those who are keen to attend. It also helps prevent scammers from selling tickets at inflated prices via unauthorised means. Aunty’s Resale Service is the only authorised resale facility. Don’t let your tickets get into the hands of Dickheads. The resale service comes into effect once tickets have sold out and closes 14 days before the festival.

Note that this is not a refund service, as tickets are non-refundable, which means in the event that there are insufficient people on Aunty’s Waitlist, you will not be able to return your ticket/s.

Offering a Ticket?

Tickets to Meredith are non-refundable. However, if your circumstances change and you can no longer attend, you may be able to exchange your ticket/s via Aunty’s Resale Service, which opens if/when tickets sell out and there are sufficient people on Aunty’s Waitlist.

Please note that we are unable to refund your booking fee for tickets exchanged through the Resale Service. If we have begun packing tickets, or your tickets have already been posted, there is also a $5 resale processing fee per ticket. In the event that there are insufficient people on Aunty’s Waitlist, you will not be able to return your ticket/s.

Aunty’s Ticket Resale Service closes 14 days prior to the festival weekend.

Wanting a ticket?

Applications to join Aunty’s Waitlist open once tickets have sold out.

Please keep in mind that you need to be a current Subscriber and you are able to apply for up to two tickets.

If any tickets are returned, Aunty will contact people on the Waitlist and check that they are still looking for a ticket. Assuming this is the case, the new buyer will be given a code and 48 hours to make their purchase. Your tickets will then be posted out in November.

How does the Resale Service work?

Once the Resale Service opens (ie. when the festival has sold out) and there are people on Aunty’s Waitlist looking for a spare, we can arrange a reverse charge of your transaction. Please note that your booking fee ($12 per ticket) will not be refunded. The refund will go back to the card used for the original purchase. Please contact Aunty if you’re keen to use the service, outlining the number of tickets in your order you no longer require.

When emailing Aunty, the purchaser is required to use the same email that was used for the purchase.

Important: If someone else purchased your ticket via the Supernatural Ticket Centre, you will need to ask the original purchaser to contact Aunty to advise that one of their tickets is no longer required.

Periodic offers will be made to people on Aunty’s Waitlist as spare tickets are returned.

Why does the Resale Service Close?

Aunty’s Resale Service closes two weeks prior to the weekend. As tickets to Meredith and Golden Plains are hard-copy tickets (wristbands), it’s a sometimes complicated process to get tickets into the hands of buyers on the waitlist once tickets have been posted out. Without that two week period, tickets wouldn’t arrive in time.

In 2025 the Resale Service was open for 3 months and we assisted hundreds of people whose plans had changed to re-home their tickets.

Please Be Warned

We have introduced this service due to the dramatic rise in the number of people who were being scammed using unauthorised resale methods. If you are considering buying a ticket from someone on Facebook or ebay (or the like), please be very careful and approach any transactions with extreme caution. The safest option is always to buy your ticket directly from us – either via The Ballot, Online Sales or via Aunty’s Ticket Resale Service.

If you are buying or selling a ticket via other means, Victoria Police have introduced Safe Buying and Selling exchange sites, which may be of interest to you.

Meredith is subject to a major event ticketing declaration under Part 9A of the Major Events Act 2009. This means it is an offence to sell, advertise or offer to resell a ticket for more than 10% above its face value purchase price ($514). Offenders face fines of between $1,017 and $610,530 depending on the nature of the offence.

Ticket holders are welcome to pass on their ticket if they wish to, preferably via Aunty’s Resale Service. Alternately, if you bought a ticket and can no longer attend, you can sell your ticket to a friend, as long as you do not sell it for more than 10% above its face value purchase price. Please don’t let a ticket get into the hands of a Dickhead.

Look After Each Ticket in Your Order

You are responsible for all the tickets in your order, even if they are no longer in your possession. For example, if you buy three tickets and give one to a friend of a friend and that person sells it (or attempts to sell it) for 10% more than the face value purchase price, that ticket is still associated with you on our database. You are still responsible for all the tickets in your order.

Please note: Meredith Key codes (ballot codes) are strictly not for sale and any codes bought or sold will be null and void.
