The Members Carnival On-Sale will utilise Ticketmaster Smart Queue functionality which provides a fair and equitable process for all members when securing their tickets.

Members can visit the Ticketmaster webpage for their preferred option up to 30 minutes prior to the scheduled on-sale time to join the waiting room – when you will need to select ‘Join Queue’. Members are randomly allocated a place in the queue (this is not determined by the time in which you accessed the website) and subsequently provided access to secure their tickets depending on their place in the queue once tickets are on sale.
