Your chances of snapping up tickets to the Big Pineapple Festival on October 19 are quickly diminishing with second-release tickets selling out on Tuesday.
Pre-sale ($139.50), first-release ($145), and now second-release tickets ($147.50) have all sold, with a third ($150) and final release ($160.50) to go. Camping is $60.
The juiciest festival of the year will see some of Australia’s biggest artists descend on Woombye’s famous Pineapple Fields, with The Amity Affliction, Bliss N Eco, Golden Features, Peking Duo, Tones and I and Vera Blue headling the event.
Local acts Betty Taylor, Raw Ordio, Karlou, Tess Fapani and Earth Sign will also perform.
Punters can expect exotic foods, fancy dress competitions galore, thrill-seeking entertainment from the nation’s hottest skaters, and some unique attractions such as the lantern parade, a Piney sing-along, and the inaugural Great Australian Pineapple Toss.
Speaking at a Sunshine Coast Event Industry Association (SCEIA) event at Solbar recently, organiser Mark Pico says his 16,500 capacity festival is likely to sell out, with more than half the tickets now sold.
It comes as Coolum’s The Big Weekend festival sold out to a whopping 600 people at Blackflag Brewing on July 13.
Mark, who cited Woodford Folk Festival as his biggest influence, says next year will likely see the festival become a two-day event, with the second day catering to an older demographic.
He is also introducing aluminium water cans as an environmental incentive, and punters can rest assured they won’t pay more than $10 a pop for their drinks.
Feeling the pinch but still want to rock out? There are also payment plans now available.
