Moat Festival runs from the 6th to the 22nd of March 2009TICKETS AND INFORMATION
General Public: $15
Students: $5 Guild Member/ $10 Non-Guild Member
or you can buy a Moat Pass for $20 Non-Guild Member and $10 Guild Member. A Moat Pass will give you entry into every show of the festival- so it saves you money!
HOW TO GET THERE:
La Trobe University is located in Bundoora, a suburb in the north of Melbourne.
The Campus is very large and can be confusing to navigate if you haven't travelled here before- so we suggest researching your journey before you come. Melways has a map specifically of the University towards the back, which is the clearest way to see.
You can come along Plenty Road, Kingsbury Drive or Waterdale Road. Entry to the carparks is easiest from Waterdale Road (we recommend carpark 3 for shows in the Moat Theatre, Hall Storage and The Playroom and carpark 6 for shows in Menzies Theatre).
Public Transport: Buses run from the City to La Trobe- see www.metlinkmelbourne.com.au
The bus will stop at the David Meyers Building, which is central to all venues. Make sure you are able to catch a returning bus home, as some nights (such as Sunday) the buses stop earlier.
Tram 86 runs along Plenty Road and stops at La Trobe. The walk from the tram is quite long, please make sure you leave enough time for the walk through the campus.
If you are coming to see a friend or relative in the show and aren't sure where to go, it might be worth talking to them and getting express directions, otherwise please feel free toask at the Student Theatre office when you are booking your tickets.
BOOKING TICKETS
Student Theatre takes phone bookings up until about 4pm of the day of the show. Unless specified, you are able to buy tickets at the door. Please note that we only take CASH and don't have the facilities for Credit Card transactions. If you are a school group, please enquire directly at the office.
When you book your ticket, you need to leave your Name, a contact number and the number of people you are booking for, and whether you are General Public or Student. You will pay at the door. Please note that latecomers will not be admitted, so make sure you are there 5 minutes early. TICKETS WILL GO ON SALE CLOSER TO THE OPENING DATE.
BUYING MOAT PASSES
The easiest way to buy a Moat Pass is at the first show you go and see. If you are a student at La Trobe, you can also buy a Moat Pass from the Student Theatre and Film Office (maybe taking the time to join up while you are there!)
FRONT OF HOUSE VOLUNTEERS
If you are a student at La Trobe and like theatre, a great way to get to know people and also see as many shows as you can is to sign up to be a Front Of House person. We will be looking for students in O-Week to sign up to help out.
