Frequently Asked Questions
Do you do payment plans?
Yes! OZ​TIX offers this service for its events.
Do I need an email address to buy tickets?
For most events yes. We primarily use mobile or PDF print-at-home tickets that are sent to your email address. All tickets will be sold online via Oztix. There are no hardcopy tickets for sale.
Is there a cut-off for name changes?
Yes. The cut off times will be posted here closer to the events.
My ticket never arrived so I couldn’t go to the event. Can I get a refund?
No. It’s your responsibility to resolve any ticket fulfilment issues with us prior to the event. Most of the time tickets that have not been received are related to spam filters and are out of our control. If you choose not to contact us before an event to have your tickets resent and call us after the event for a refund, no refund will be provided.
It’s the day of the event and I can’t find my tickets!
Proceed to the event and reach the gate staff. They should be able to identify you and provide you with tickets, but no promises. Please print and bring with you any correspondence that you may have regarding your purchase. Make sure to bring your ID (i.e. driver’s license, passport, proof of age card).
I bought tickets and received confirmation of payment (i.e. the funds were debited from my account) but no tickets were received.
Contact Oztix directly via 1300 762 545
I am buying a ticket from an unauthorised outlet, can you validate it for me?
We will not tell you if a ticket is valid. Tickets to most of our events can be cancelled at any time up to and including the day/night of the event for a variety of reasons. Therefore we can never guarantee the validity of a ticket unless bought from an authorised outlet. In addition we do not support re-selling of our tickets. Many people have bought tickets from scalpers only to find when they arrived at the event, the tickets were fake, invalid or cancelled by the original purchaser. We strongly suggest you don’t risk it and only buy your tickets from authorised outlets (i.e Oztix, or this website).
I need to change the name on one of my tickets. Is this possible?
Yes. Please contact rhythmandthereef@gmail.com or follow the instructions via the Oztix website to make any modifications necessary!
Does sold out mean sold out?
We would NEVER say something was sold out and then put more tickets on sale. So if the website says sold out, it means sold out.
What if my photo was taken at an event and it isn’t online or on Facebook?
We can only put a limited number of images online for each event so we choose the ones that best convey the atmosphere, fun and excitement of Rhythm and The Reef events.
Where can I see photos from your events?
The best photos that our photographers take at our events can be seen on this website in the Gallery section or on the event’s Facebook page. If they are not on our website or Facebook page they may have been taken by an external media photographer e.g. Filmif
Are your events for All Ages?
Yes, unless otherwise stated. But please make sure you bring photo ID to all our events.
What is your Covid-19 vaccination policy?
Our vaccination policy follows the state or Federal regulations at the time of the event – please review and follow the Government guidelines.
