Tickets

Event tickets come with fees and fine print. We break down the detail so you know exactly what you're paying for.

Most of us head to a sports match, cultural event or live gig once in a while. But whether you're screaming for the State of Origin or freaking out over Fleetwood Mac, you're going to need to buy your tickets from somewhere. Our reports detail the extra charges tacked on ticket sales, your refund rights and the legalities of scalping.
