Question 1

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF COUNTRY

Accepted Answer

We would like to acknowledge that the land on which Adelaide Beer & BBQ Festival is held is the traditional land of the Kaurna people and that we respect their spiritual relationship with their Country.

Question 2

SAFE, INCLUSIVE & ACCESSIBLE SPACE

Accepted Answer

All Beer & BBQ Festival events are strictly 'Wanker-free'.
If you see a friend acting like a wanker, pull them up. If you feel you are acting like a wanker, pull your head in. And if you need you can always let one of the BBF team or security know if you've witnessed some wankerism.
Adelaide Beer & BBQ Festival is an accessible venue presented almost exclusively on flat hard stand ground. There are designated general admission wheelchair, mobility bays in Sections NL2, NL3, NL4 and EL3. These would be open on a first come, first serve basis.  
Companion card holders are welcome to bring a companion with any full paying adult ticket holder.

Question 3

CAN I USE CASH?

Accepted Answer

No. Beer & BBQ Festival has been a cashless event since 2015.
This is to ensure speed of service, increased security and ease of transactions at the many Bars, Food Outlets and Vendor Stalls.
Most importantly, there will be no need to wait in lines, counting out coins to buy a beer, as your friends get thirsty for your round!
It’s super simple to use – just like using PayWave at the pub – make sure you bring your credit card, bank card or (charged up) phone with PayWave capabilities to the festival and have money in your bank!
Then let the exhibitor know what you would like to purchase, they will ring up the transaction on their device.
Then tap your card against the Square device at each stall and bingo, the transaction is complete, start enjoying your beers!

Question 4

WHAT’S THE DEAL WITH THE DIFFERENT SESSIONS?

Accepted Answer

ABBF is essentially 3 festivals in one weekend.
Each of the 3 sessions are different and one may appeal more than others to your tastes.
There are heaps of ticket types, from the Whole Hog Season Pass (which gets you ultimate access, in and out of the festival all weekend) to individual session tickets and many combinations in between.
Whole Hog tickets are limited and will likely sell out.
If you want the full Beer & BBQ Fest experience, grab yours early.
All ticket sales are 18+
