All sales are final. A refund will only be provided in the event a performance is cancelled, re-scheduled or significantly relocated, minus the small booking fee charged by our ticketing provider. A refund or exchange will not be provided due to change of mind or incorrect purchase date, where a patron is dissatisfied with an event, refused entry or evicted from an event, fails to attend the event, or their ticket is lost or stolen without proof of purchase being provided. Please check all details carefully before purchasing, as sales are final.
Bondi Festival Ice Rink
The Bondi Festival Ice Rink is operated by Stars on Ice and has a strict refund policy. All tickets are sold at prices as displayed. The rink is outdoors and is designed to proceed in all weather conditions – rain or shine. If rain is forecast, assume your session is going ahead and please be prepared with your own raincoat and wet weather gear. Umbrellas are not permitted on the ice. Please note, there are no refunds if you do not arrive at your session. In extreme circumstances Stars on Ice may be able to reschedule your tickets to another session if you request and they have availability.

Refunds and rescheduling are at Stars on Ice’s discretion. For patrons who require assistance of a companion or carer, a second ticket is issued at no cost to the Companion Card holder on presentation of their Card at the Ice Rink Box Office on site.
