All Underbelly shows are ticketed. Certain productions get fully booked during peak times, so we recommend that you book in advance on the website where possible. It's free to enter the Underbelly sites so you can sit and enjoy a drink and a bite to eat at any of our venues.

Are there age restrictions for accessing the festival sites ?

Whilst the site is suitable for children of all ages, we would suggest that children are accompanied at all times by a person of 18 years or over. After 9pm, no person under the age of 18 can be in our venues unless they have a pre-booked ticket for a show after 9pm and are accompanied by an adult aged 18 or over.
