“For the first time in MTN Bushfire history, overwhelming global enthusiasm and growing commitment to our unique, conscious festival experience have unlocked an all-new Phase 4 of online ticket sales.”
This was announced by MTN Bushfire, Creative Director, Jiggs Thorne, in a press release, where he noted that overwhelming demand has led to them being more creative in how they accommodate more festivalgoers.
Traditionally, Phase 3 has marked the final tier of ticket sales. However, due to unprecedented demand across all categories. “MTN Bushfire is proud to introduce a limited Phase 4, a major milestone in the festival’s journey.”
Thorne revealed that with over 70% of Golden Lounge tickets already sold, this premium category will soon move to Phase 4 pricing. Main Arena tickets remain available at Phase 2 rates for now, but they are selling fast, with nearly half already gone.
