A bar will be operating at the Showgrounds from 5:00pm to 10:00pm as well. You can get in to attend this evening's barbie and concert for a slim $5 per person (the fee triples to $15 tomorrow) or you can buy a 4-day season pass for $40 (young people aged 14 to 17 can get tickets for half price, and under-14s accompanied by an adult can get in for free). Camping fees at the Showgrounds range between $6 and $8.50 per night extra for unpowered or powered sites, and a booking for any camp site is essential.
