Before proceeding with your purchase, please read these Terms and Conditions carefully. You must not complete your purchase unless you agree with these Terms and Conditions.
‍
In these Terms and Conditions, a reference to the Mildura Arts Centre is to Mildura Rural City Council trading as Mildura Arts Centre ABN 42 498 937 037. A reference to the Venue is to the premises and/or venue to which a ticket relates.
1. Application of Terms and Conditions
