Secret Garden Festival 2013 Announces Ticket Details & Family Ballot

How you give out free beer and wine at an Australian music festival and have it remain, for the most part, something you can still describe using words like “magical” and “intimate”, I don’t really know. Probably it’s the animal costumes and all those fairy lights. Well Secret Garden does it year after year in a secret location just one hour from Sydney, and they’re unleashing the next one in a flowery wine-drenched explosion next March.

The musical line-up won’t be announced until January, but you can be assured it will be a marvelous slew of up and coming bands and DJs that you’d wanna dance until dawn to even if you weren’t drunk on wine and happiness and dressed as a Native American banana. A select few of them will be close enough to hug at Friday’s intimate mini-festival inspired by the first ever Secret Garden, while the rest of them will play across eight glitter-strewn fields on the Saturday.

This year organisers will be pre releasing a bunch of tickets to randomly selected seasoned gardeners as part of a Secret Garden Family ballot drawn on 8 November. Those selected will be sent a unique ticket code giving them access to buy three tickets before they go on sale to the general public at 8.30am on November 15^th.

Secret Garden will be held on 8^th and 9^th March 2013 at a secret location one hour from Sydney. Tickets to both days are $194 plus booking fees and Saturday (free beer and wine day) tickets are $135 plus booking fees.
