Volunteering at ConFest?
Most importantly, everyone at ConFest is a volunteer! ConFest is entirely volunteer and community created. That means no one gets paid to organise the festival. It is co-created by you and me. Every adult is asked to contribute a minimum of two hours of their time as part of their ticket price. This fosters an active community and keeps ticket prices affordable. ConFest is everybody's gathering. If you see something that needs doing or a way that you can give back to the community for two hours of your time, please go ahead and do it. If you are unsure of how you can contribute your two hours, please please come to the Info tent and enquire about how you can help. Volunteer Here

Tickets
Just a friendly reminder that there are no ticket sales at the gate. However, you can easily purchase tickets using your own device through the internet available at the gate.
In case you haven't purchased a ticket beforehand, don't worry. You can park your car and head to the Ticket Box located in the Paddock to purchase a ticket. But if you want to save time and avoid waiting in line, it's best to purchase your tickets before arriving on-site. This will not only make things easier for you, but it will also help our Front Gate Crew process everyone as quickly as possible.
** We will not sell out, so you will not miss out on a ticket.
See you there
