I swear it was alot cheaper last year wasn’t it? $80 or something…
Anyways I’m hoping the 2nd round of acts are alot better or else I don’t think I’m gonna bother going which is ashame cause I live in Busselton
tickets for Saturday (only) will be cheaper but the whole w/e was about that last year.
I’ll Be There regardless of whos going .. its just an awesome weekend
is it tru southbound this year is over 18 :S i think its a lie? help?
Jen – just the festival on Saturday (so the main event) is ALL ages.
If you want to camp (friday night, saturday night), then it is 18
:)
People who might need a ride from Perth to Busselton for Southbound leave a blog here with your details and some kind souls will no doubt get in touch with you…
just a thought, cos i know my car will have spare seats…car pooling should be encouraged!
cheers, ben
Yes, good one Ben!
nice one!! this seems to be the only online forum for southbound am i right ??
Well… I wouldn’t call this a forum… :)
But there isn’t an official forum as far as I know
There’s a facebook group here:

But you have to sign up for facebook first…
It’s got a forum, and also a wall you can post messages on.
hi just wondering if its ok to use the camping ticket just for the saturday. i can’t camp but have the camping ticket and really want to go! thanks
Hi Alice,
I’m certain it won’t be a problem, but I would check the camping information (that you got from sunset events, or on the website (which is down at the moment…)), because I think you’ll need to go to the camping entry to get in.
On the other hand, you could just go to the normal entry, and I’m sure they’ll send you somewhere else if they have to.
:)
anyone selling a ticket, let me know!
get onto eay daz and you should score if ur pockets are deep enough…you gotta love all those scalpers, not
