HOMEBAKE ETIQUETTE - Otherwise known as 'Do's & Don'ts!

THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ THIS INFORMATION.
IT IS IMPORTANT SO PLEASE READ THROUGH CAREFULLY.

Due to strict licensing regulations, EVERY ticket holder will be wristbanded upon entry to HOMEBAKE. Please also note that any person at HOMEBAKE without a valid and authorised wristband will be immediately removed from the site. There are NO exceptions to this rule. Thus, it is important to note that your wristband remains your 'passport' to attend Homebake and stay within The Domain (festival area), and also provides a guarantee that you are legally over 18 years of age.

NB: Remember - All tickets (both hard tickets and print at home 'ezyTicket' versions) will be scanned upon entry this year. Please ONLY purchase from authorised sellers (Ticketek and Oztix). Unauthorised sales (Ebay etc) could result in fraudulent barcodes. Organiser reserves the right to deny admission to the bearer of any ticket that appears to have been tampered with.

PLEASE - Be very aware that there will be strong POLICE & SECURITY presence at Homebake to ensure general security and safety for all patrons. As many of you would have noticed at major events across the country, Police drug (& dog) detection operations will also be in attendance.

The Red Cross Save A Mate (SAM) program will also on site throughout the day. Comprising teams of accredited staff SAM volunteers (visibly dressed in Save A Mate shirts) will be roaming Homebake and are there to assist you. Make sure to say hello!

• We also ask that you please be mindful keeping the Domain and surrounding area's clean. We have implemented a recycling system for all cans and PET bottles (make sure to check this out at all bars) and have copious marked bins throughout the site. Please use these bins as you see them marked and show that you respect the environment and in turn, keeping our beautiful city pristine.

PLEASE KEEP ALL OF THIS IN MIND WHEN COMING TO HOMEBAKE AND MAKE SURE TO LOOK OUT FOR EACH OTHER.
