Tixel has worked with Oztix to enable you to list your order confirmation receipt, instead of PDF tickets which are sent 6 weeks prior to the event. Buyers will receive new tickets and barcodes in their own name and all tickets sold are invalidated.
If you have already found a buyer for your ticket but want to complete the transaction safely, you can create a private sale by selecting the ‘make my listing private’ option at the final step. Otherwise your listing will be public and available for all potential buyers to see.
This facility is available to original ticket holders who purchased tickets directly via Oztix. If you are not the original ticket holder - for example if you purchased tickets privately - you will not be able to use this facility. Special Offer tickets from the 2021 Big Red Bash are not eligible to use the Tixel resale facility.
Your money will be available to withdraw from your Tixel account the day after the event. You can always see this date in 'My Tickets' on your Tixel Account. Once withdrawn, it will take the standard processing times for the funds to reach your account. This can vary based on your bank but can take anywhere between 1 and 4 business days.
No, tickets are not guaranteed to sell. Supply and demand will dictate whether or not your tickets are sold prior to the event.
No, refunds are not available if you are unable to attend the festival for any reason. For details on when a refund would be issued, see our ticketing Terms and Conditions.
If you purchased Booking Protect with your tickets and need to request a refund, you must log into www.bookingprotect.com and fill in and submit the Refund Application Form as soon as possible after becoming aware of circumstances that may lead you to request a refund but no more than 45 days after the booked event. You can read the full Booking Protect terms and conditions here.

Moving this many vehicles in and out of Bashville is quite a feat!

Outback roads can be closed after local rain. They usually re-open reasonably quickly. Plan ahead and have a few alternative routes up your sleeve.
Keep up to date with outback road conditions in the lead up to the Big Red Bash. Leave a few days spare for unexpected detours.
Our tyres policy is based on the advice of Adam Plate the old owner of the Pink Roadhouse at Oodnadatta who we met in the late 90s and early 2000s. Adam was a legend in outback SA driving and was a key figure in raising awareness of the advantages of lower pressures on rough roads.
In our event vehicles we drop all tyre pressures and since doing so have seen a noticeable decrease in tyre damage and cost. We adopt the same tyre pressure guidelines for all vehicles: 2WD, small AWD like Subarus, 4WDs whether lightly or heavily laden, our event trailers and heavy rigid trucks. For smaller vehicles on gravel roads we drop by about 20% below highway pressures and the larger vehicles like event trucks we drop to about 55% of highway pressures. We take about 15 vehicles out to the Bash each year and have very few damaged tyres since using these guidelines.
No, once you’ve parked at camp your vehicle must stay parked and stationary until 7am Friday 8th July.

Yes. If you want to camp as a group with other vehicles, you must arrive at the Big Red Bash site together. You won’t be able to save a spot for a later arrival Groups that arrive together will be allocated adjacent campsites, one per vehicle. Groups can join two or more adjacent campsites and use the internal area however they wish, however you must leave space between your cooking areas and other structures, and you must place all structures at least 1 metre from the outer boundaries of the “joined” site.
