Accompanied Youth

For duty of care reasons, liquor license compliance and to be in keeping with the family-based nature of the event, Queenscliff Music Festival has implemented an ACCOMPANIED YOUTH POLICY as outlined below. 

ACCOMPANIED YOUTH TICKETS & WRISTBANDS

• 13 and Under Ticket – Must be accompanied by a Parent/Guardian/Responsible Adult at all times

• 3-Day Accompanied Youth 14-17 Years - Must be purchased in conjunction with an Adult ticket purchase.
  
  
• Single Day Accompanied Youth 14-17 Years - (Fri, Sat, Sun) - Must be purchased in conjunction with an Adult ticket purchase. 

Accompanied Youth ticket holders MUST be accompanied by their ticketed Parent/Guardian/Responsible Adult at our Ticket Exchange to receive their wristband.

Proof of age for Accompanied Youth ticket holders may be required, such as a driver learner permit or school ID.  

Queenscliff Music Festival reserves the right to:

• refuse sale or limit the number of Accompanied Youth tickets that are sold in conjunction with a single Adult ticket.

• refuse entry to those who present as an ‘Accompanied Youth’ ticket holder who fail to satisfy personnel they are accompanied by a responsible adult. (A “responsible adult” is a person who is acting in place of a parent and who could reasonably be expected to exercise responsible supervision of the accompanied youth).

UNDER AGE PATRON CONSENT FORM

Accompanied Youth who are under the care of a responsible adult other than their legal parent/guardian, must have filled out the Under Age Patron Consent Form signed by their legal parent/guardian and bring it with them to the Festival in order to be given a wristband.
