And now for the logistics...

As per previous years, we accept Expression of interests/tentative bookings as of now via the below form and are keeping these shows off sale until the end of Term 4 2024 (Friday, 20 December), to give you a chance to book your students in before we go on sale to the general public (Saturday, 23 December).

After this point, school ticket prices will still be available, however ticket availability is not guaranteed. For any tentative bookings you have made with us, we will be in touch 4-6 weeks out from each show to confirm final numbers. These numbers will be what we invoice you for - unfortunately we are unable to issue any refunds on these tickets.

For any questions, feedback, issues or concerns, please contact us on engagement.copacc@colacotway.vic.gov.au or on 03 5232 9450.
