Get a Platinum Badge to SXSW Sydney plus Hotel Credit on Concrete Playground Trips

Overview

It's safe to say that plenty of people were very excited when the news broke that, South by Southwest, the world's leading festival of innovation, culture and creativity was coming to the southern hemisphere for the first time. Not only that, it is coming to Sydney. We're still pinching ourselves. Now the festival is almost upon us, so from Sunday, October 15 to Sunday, October 22, Sydney will truly be the place to be. The best news? We have a VIP package on Concrete Playground Trips to perfect your experience.

A quick rundown if you're unfamiliar: SXSW is usually held in Austin, Texas and has been since 1987. It's an annual week-long festival showcasing the cutting-edge of culture across tech, music, screen, gaming and more. Over a thousand smaller events are scheduled under the umbrella of SXSW, including panels, concerts, parties, screenings and demos just to name a few. Some big names are going to be appearing, including futurist and author of The Genesis Machine Amy Webb, Tan France of Queer Eye, the original Wiggles and Chance the Rapper.

With a program as varied as that, it's next to impossible that there's nothing you wouldn't like. If you're as keen as we are, it's time to get tickets. They come in the form of badges, wristbands or passes for the different event categories. For the complete SXSW experience, you'll need a badge.

As mentioned, you can book an eight-day Platinum badge right now through our exclusive deal on Concrete Playground Trips, giving you VIP access to the festival. And to help get you there, you'll also receive $150 in credit that can be spent on Sydney accommodation booked through Concrete Playground Trips.
