Low-Income Ticketing at Twominds Festival
We know the real costs of attending a festival extend far beyond the ticket, and recognise that financial inequality shapes who is able to show up, take part, and contribute to the collective spirit of the weekend. That’s why Twominds Festival is committed to reducing barriers and ensuring our community reflects a wide range of experiences, voices and backgrounds.
For 2026, a limited allocation of reduced-cost tickets is available for people who can establish – through an application process – that they have limited resources to afford a standard-cost ticket. This program is designed for those experiencing genuine, ongoing financial constraints, and is one way we honour our commitment to equitable access. We trust applicants to engage honestly, and we approach every application with care and respect.
