Chapter 2.1 - Arrival & Setup
Remember that the Gate opens at midday on the Wednesday before Easter weekend for General Admission.
No earlier. No exceptions.
Tickets can be bought online beforehand and we strongly recommend that you do so - if you do not have a ticket, you will be turned away.
If the event does not sell out, there may be gate sales, but they are more expensive than online tickets and you must pay in full at the gate with cash (attempts to barter, beg or bribe the gate staff will not help you). Check ahead to make sure gate sales are still available before you leave!
EVERYONE should read the small print in the Terms and Conditions of entry (y’know… all that stuff about injury, loss of property, nudity is okay, risk and responsibility, etc) - https://blazingswan.com.au/terms-conditions/
When You Arrive
When you turn off Kulin-Lake Grace Road (Tin Horse Highway) and onto Jilakin Lake Road, please slow down as the roads are unsealed and there may be queuing traffic. After 1.5km, you will arrive at the gate. Ensure the following before you arrive at the Gate:
Everyone in your vehicle must have a valid ticket and have photo ID.
Under 18’s must be with an adult ticket holder.
When you meet our awesome Gate crew remember they have teeth and are not afraid to bare them.
They have been tasked to:
Scan your ticket(s)
Check IDs
Tag you with a wristband
If you do not have enough food or water for the duration of your stay, you may be sent back to Kulin for a more supplies
Check you don’t have any prohibited items (pets, fire-arms, paintball guns, flares, pyrotechnics, handheld lasers, etc)
Check that you understand our Leave No Trace policy and the other principles.
Clearing gate and down the track you’ll be met by our wonderful Greeters.
Their mission is to orientate and educate arriving citizens while spreading wit, whimsy and infectious enthusiasm to car loads of people. They’ll hug the shit out of you, serenade you or perform any manner of welcoming rituals.
Relax and go with it!
