Information

BTV Essentials

Don’t have time to read the whole site? Here’s the bottom line on buying tickets to Beyond the Valley.

‍

EVERYONE needs a Festival Entry Ticket.

Your pass to enter the main arena where all the stages are, whether you're there for the full stretch or just New Year's. The date on your ticket is the earliest you can access the site (campgrounds, arena, and car park included).

Planning to camp?

Entry and Camping Passes are sold separately. Campers need both:

General: GA campgrounds
Premium: More premium toilets, showers, phone charging
Pre-Pitched: Tent provided, 2, 3, 4 person tent options, in Premium area. Sold per tent.
Lux: Luxury tents, 2, 3, 4 person tent options. Sold per tent.

Travelling for New Years or want to make your BTV experience even more special?

Transport Options

If you wish to drive to Beyond the Valley, you may do so with a Car Pass. The only way to purchase a Car Pass in the initial onsale is through a Festival Entry Ticket and Camping bundle. Scroll to the Tickets section of this page to learn more about bundles.

If you wish to park in our Beyond the Valley Car Park, you may purchase a pass for this in our vehicle pass on sale later in the year.

Various bus options are available via Melbourne on the Move from Melbourne and Geelong. If you’re keen on looking further into bus times, check out our Tickets page.

How does Presale work?

The Daily Aus Official Presale is for those who have subscribed to the Daily Aus mailing list. If you’d like to subscribe, please do so via our official Presale signup form.

‍

The Daily Aus presale will commence 48 hours before the official BTV presale.

The official BTV Presale will take place 48 hours after The Daily Aus presale.

Registrants will receive an email on presale day with a unique link that will unlock presale access before the general public.

‍

"The Real Ones" Presale

If you attended BTV in both 2024 and 2025, that officially makes you one of The Real Ones: whether you’re a Dome Diva or a Side Quester - one thing is for sure - you’re a loyalist. So, naturally, we’re giving you a little something in return.

The Real Ones get early access to the official BTV Presale through The Real Ones “Hour of Power”.

If eligible, you’ll have one full hour to secure your BTV 2026 tickets before the official presale.

Your access is linked to the email address used to purchase your BTV tickets in both 2024 and 2025.

Used a different email address one year, or had someone else buy your ticket? You’ll just need to show us named tickets proving you attended both years.

‍

Due to Beyond the Valley selling out within an hour last year, we strongly recommend registering for Presale, as this may be your only chance at securing a ticket. More information on on sale dates and times will be revealed soon with the lineup announcement
