The first packages off the block are our event passes - see below - and we are very excited about the new lineup of events - some of your favourite tried and tested events mixed in with a little bit of new.
We are currently building our accommodation, mountain and transport packages which shold be released as we get closer to the event.
Please note that all Event Passes are R18.
This year's line up is, once again, going to be epic. First off the block, we are offering Mini and Maxi event passes, and we have now got "First" and "Long" Weekender passes. So those of you joining us just for ONE of the two weekends of the festival can now make the most of it.
ALL our event passes include the equivalent of at least 5% off the standard individual ticket pricing. And we are also offering a limited release EARLYBIRD discount of a further 5%.
Last year, most of our events sold out, so we advise you to purchase tickets for events as early as possible. We will do our best to have door sales to most events, but they might be quite limited.
Please note that some fo the events which worked really well in 2018 are not included in event passes as some are free entry (like Pride in the Park) and some are ticketed separately (like the Urge Underwear Party (MSM)).
And in 2019 we are introducing a few newbies, like "Queenstown's Got Talent", on the Wednesday evening. We will have live performance and drag acts, as we test out moving on from the formal cabaret evening of the past. Other changing events this year include the Cards Against Humanity games night where we are going to take a more leisurely pace than last year, and we have spiced things up a bit by moving out of the Wild West and into a Military Party on the first Sunday Night.
We are also testing a welcome event on the first Friday night - details still to come - and a relaxed final Sunday Session for those who want to stay in town until the Monday rather than dashing off on the final Sunday during the day.
And for the first time, 2019's the Shotover Jet Off-Mountain Series, as a Pride Pledge initiative, will have a Pride Sevens Touch Tournament, so if you are a rugby fan, then this will be a must for you. Mixed teams and a great way to spend a late Friday morning.
In 2019, we are also offering our deluxe version of each pass: Winter Pride CLUB. CLUB Status gives you that extra special experience including shared airport transfers, a choice of adventure or pamper activity, some with a CLUB dinner (similar to 2018's VIP dinner) and, among other things, the limited edition and much sought after Winter Pride T-shirt and Beanie. So if you want that little bit of extra in your experience, then the Winter Pride Club options are the ones for you.
It's going to be fun and we can't wait for you to join us.
See individual passes below for details.
It is important to note that you will receive follow up emails from Eventfinda and Winter Pride to redeem your tickets to individual events following your purchase of these event passes. If you do not manage to complete the redemption process according to the instructions on the emails, we will not be able to guarantee individual tickets to events if you miss the redemption deadlines. Failure to read redemption emails and complete the process will not entitle you to a refund.
Our event passes all include different specific events during the festival. And there are some events which are not included in any event pass - so make sure that you check out the full event schedule closer to the event and subscribe to our newsletter (see bottom of the page) so that we can update you with an late release events.
The full event schedule will be released in February and will be updated during the year as the number of events grows.
Please check the event pass you are purchasing is the correct one for the events you want to attend before you purchase the pass.
All event passes includes a house drink on arrival at all of the above ticketed events if you arrive before 10pm (not including Karaoke).
