Should you choose to purchase tickets through another website or other avenues, other than Ticketek, we may be unable to assist you in accessing the event or retrieving your money.  The only way you can be assuredassuredassured of paying the correct prices and actually receiving valid tickets, is by purchasing via the venue's official ticketing agent, Ticketek. 

Scalping Warning

The resale of tickets in certain circumstances is governed by ticket sales legislation and may attract criminal penalties.  

Will I be charged a booking fee?

Most ticket prices include booking fees however there are times when the booking fee is added to the face value of the ticket price. Transaction fees may also apply for internet and phone bookings.

Will my tickets be posted to me?

Tickets booked with Ticketek (by telephone or via the internet) cannot be posted.  Patrons who nominate to collect their tickets from the venue can do so from the Ticketek Box Office located at our venue at anytime before the event or when you arrive at the venue on the event day.  The Ticketek Box Office located at the WIN Entertainment Centre is open from Monday to Friday, between 9.00am and 2.00pm and between 3.00pm to 5.00pm daily.

How do I get to the WIN Sports & Entertainment Centres?

The WIN Sports & Entertainment Centres is located on the corner of Harbour and Crown Streets, Wollongong.

A car park is available only on event days and is located in Stewart Street East which is about a block walking distance from the venue.

Parking is also availabile in Burelli Street East, free of charge, on weekends and on weekdays from 4.30pm.

The Wollongong train station is a 10 to 15 minute walk from the venue. Some local buses stop and pick up from the Harbour Street side of the venue.

Which entrance do I use?

The WIN Entertainment Centre has three (3) main public entrances. These are located in Harbour Street, on the corner of Harbour and Crown Streets and opposite Lang Park near the Five Islands Brewing Company. Your ticket will indicate which door number you should enter the main auditorium by. These doors are located around the foyer system of the venue.

If you are going to WIN Stadium, Gate A, B and C are located on Harbour Street and Gate D is located on the beach side of WIN Stadium. Patrons using Gate D should walk around the WIN Entertainment Centre via Crown Street.

There is a No Pass Out policy in place at both the WIN Entertainment Centre and WIN Stadium.

What should I bring with me?

Patrons are advised to bring the least amount of belongings as possible. Small bags are permitted but may be subject to a bag search and, at some events, may be removed from standing floor ticket holders for collection after the show. No video or digital cameras and/ or recording devices are permitted in either of the venues. Professional cameras with a zoom or detachable lens are also not permitted.

At certain events, the promoter may request a ban on all photography and signs to this effect will be displayed at all foyer doors being used for patron admission.

No commercial food or drink is permitted in the WIN Entertainment Centre or WIN Stadium and at times other items such as rescue flares and non approved national flags will also be banned.

Can I bring a pram or stroller into the venue?

Due to Access and Evacuation requirements, the WSEC has a policy that no items such as prams, strollers or push chairs can be left in the access ways of the WEC or the Stadium, during an event.

By leaving strollers or push chairs in access ways (especially the WEC cross-over aisle), they could create a possible obstruction to other patrons and in particular, could impede evacuation procedures of the venues (if necessary).

Where the event is considered to have the potential for a large number of prams, push chairs or strollers, the WSEC will establish ‘Pram Bays’ (usually in the North and/or South Foyers) where these items can be left.

In these cases patrons should be aware that the WSEC cannot take responsibility for these items. The WSEC’s preference is actually that these items not be brought into the WEC.

In cases where a ‘Pram Bay’ has not been established, patrons should enquire from Venue Staff (including Ushers or Security Guards) where the prams, push chairs or strollers could be left in the foyers where all care but no responsibility will be taken.

The WSEC’s major concern and legal obligation is the safety of patrons and guests to the venues and we thank patrons for their understanding in this regard.

Can we use Cameras at an event at the WIN Entertainment Centre?

For most events, cameras are not allowed particularly cameras with what are termed long lenses or professional lenses.  Sometimes an announcement will be made before the show advising that no photography is allowed. Please respect the wishes of the performers, it may not only be the performers affected by the flash, but patrons too.  The venue will have signage at the door advising if cameras are allowed.  If venue staff ask you not to take a photo, please adhere to the request.

What can I buy at the venues?

At most events a variety of hot and cold food will be available for purchase by the public.

On most events the catering outlets open to the public when the foyer doors are open to the main auditorium, which in most cases is an hour before the scheduled start of the event. At WIN Stadium, the public catering outlets are open when gates are open to the general public. The venues practice the Responsible Service of Alcohol.

Merchandise for events at the WIN Entertainment Centre is generally available opposite Door 1 and or Door 5.

What should I do if I have a problem on the night?

Any problems should be reported immediately to one of the venue’s ushers, security personnel or the Ticketek Box Office.

They will either try and solve the problem or if necessary notify venue management.

Please note that concourse seating is steep and are not advised for the elderly, infirm, disabled, people with a physical difficulty or those with an aversion to heights. f any of these apply please do not purchase seats in the concourse level as relocation on the night may not be possible.

What do I do if I have lost something?

If you have lost an item and it has been handed in, it will be given to our security personnel and placed in a lost property area. Please call Centre Management on 02 4220 2800 to re-claim your item.
