Make the most of your time at Ipswich Civic Centre

We are ready to usher you back into Ipswich Civic Centre, and raise the curtain for an amazing program of live entertainment, music, dance, drama, comedy and so much more.

Thank you for booking tickets to see a performance at Ipswich Civic Centre. We are excited to have you attend our venue  and trust your time with us will be everything you are hoping for.

COVID Ticketing

It is Ipswich Civic Centre’s intention to ensure all our patrons get to experience our venue in a COVID safe and friendly manner. This has involved some changes to our normal practices, including changing the purchase options available for tickets.  Tickets are available in either a Checkerboard formation or as Social Groups, with both options approved by Queensland Health.

For performances sold as Checkerboard, tickets are available in single, double, triple or quad based on a set setting plan, to ensure compliance with social distancing requirements. All seats in an identified section are required to be purchased.  Patrons are able to select their seats at the time of purchase and an allocated seat ticket will be issued at the time of booking.

For performances sold as Social Groups, a General Admission ticket will be offered at the point of purchase, with venue staff allocating patrons to a specific seat based on the size of the group, date and time of booking and venue configuration.  Such an approach will ensure  compliance with current social distancing requirements. Patrons who purchased multiple tickets within the same financial transaction will be permitted to sit together.

For any ticketing queries prior to the day of the performance, please contact the ticket office on (07) 3810 6100 or email [email protected]
