AVOID SOUR-PUSS SYNDROME – BOOK EARLY!
It is highly unlikely tickets will be available for purchase at the door on Festival days due to the huge demand and a likely early sell-out – as is what happened in Melbourne in June 2022. Please note that the event has a maximum visitor capacity imposed by the venue, and we also need to manage crowd numbers to ensure a positive experience for all visitors and cats.
If there are still tickets available on Festival days these will be charged at the Door Prices detailed in the table above. So, if you want to experience one of the world’s greatest feline-focussed festivals in the world right here in Sydney, we strongly advise you pounce on tickets early to avoid sour-puss syndrome.
Companion and Carers Cards are also welcomed. Companion card holders enter free of charge on presentation of the card. Simply purchase a ticket for the person in care. The same process applies to anyone holding a NDIS card, or those accompanied by an Auslan interpreter.
Tickets are valid for a single entry only. Pass-outs will be issued for visits on the same day. Additional tickets are required for multi-day visits.
The Festival will be held at Sydney Showground and, for safety and hygiene reasons (of cats and humans!), visitors are not allowed to bring their feline-kids to the Festival. The Cat Lovers Festival was developed to celebrate Feline Friends and to educate, entertain and inform Cat Owners & Lovers – not Cats. Click here to view details of the Cat Welfare & Safety policy and here for the policy on ‘Bringing Cats to the event‘.
If you buy tickets and need to swap days, this is totally OK but only if that day is not already sold out. Tickets are non-refundable and will only be refunded if there has been a technical error (such as a duplicate purchase) so if you can’t attend, please pass on to a friend, family member or colleague who can attend. Ticket refunds will be refused one week after Festival date. See FAQs, below.

Please note: a small transaction & credit card charge (via Stripe) will be added to the published ticket prices above. Transaction fees are not charged for tickets purchased on the door but credit card fees will apply. There is also a strict no-refunds policy, so please ensure availability to attend the event prior to paying for a ticket(s). Unable to use the ticket(s)? Consider passing it on to friends, family or colleagues.
