As no announcements have been made concerning WA going into phase 5 from the 24th October, CAWA will need to assume that we will remain in phase 4 at least for the first weekend of the Solos and Duo Competition.

The kiosk will remain closed over the Solos and Duos, regardless if WA enter into phase 5 due to the short lead up time to organise rosters and stock.
Each competition day that WA is in phase 4 we will need 5 volunteers to remain after the morning session to assist cleaning the auditorium. A call for volunteers will be announced after each morning section.

Please refer to the below plan as to how the Solos and Duos will be run under phase 4 conditions .

Ticketing for Solo/Duo Competitions
There is a ticket limit of 2 tickets per performer. Every person entering the auditorium MUST hold a valid ticket – including infants. There will be NO door sales.
All tickets are available through Trybooking using this link https://www.trybooking.com/BMCSN

New Day Rate
This year we are introducing a day rate of $28.00 for an Adult and $18.00 for a Concession. This rate will only
apply to sessions booked for the same day. Unfortunately, you are not able to select a day rate through Trybooking. To get the reduced ticket price, you will need to purchase your tickets and then email [email protected] to receive a partial refund.

The ticket will state the seat number and which door to enter on the day of the competition.

Tickets went on sale on Friday 16th October via Trybooking. The site was taken down for a short time on Friday evening to alter the seating configuration to allow the competitor to sit with their two supporters after they finished performing on stage. A few ticket purchasers were moved from their original seats and were allocated new seats close to their original seats due to the requirement for the competitor to be seated with their
supporters. If your seating was changed, you would have received an email. We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your understanding on this additional measure that we have been
required to put in place.

Coaches who require a seat to be allocated, will need to contact Debbie McDonald on [email protected]
