Off the Court — The Festival Vibes

Beyond the hardwood, Burn City is buzzing. This year we’re turning the precinct into a full community festival:

• Food Truck Picnic Park — Melbourne’s best food trucks, drinks, treats and everything in between.
• Market & Community Stalls — Sunday-market energy meets street culture. Hair braiding, barbers, local makers and more.
• Brick Lane VIP Lounge — An exclusive VIP space with shade, refreshments, two complimentary Brick Lane drinks and prime viewing.
• General Public Bleachers — Sit back, relax and soak up the atmosphere.
• Kids Fun Zone — Dodgeball, games and kids activities running all day.

Premium Ticket Options

Brick Lane Lounge (VIP) — $70–$90
Upgrade your experience with premium courtside viewing, beanbags, shaded seating and refreshments, plus two complimentary Brick Lane drinks per person.

The closest thing to being courtside without checking in at the scorer’s table.

VIP Menu Includes:

• Mini Beef Pie
• Lobster Tostada
• Chicken Roll
• Avocado & Cheese Tart (served cold)
• Mushroom Lettuce Wrap (plant-based)

Courtside Seat — $30–$40
A reserved courtside seat plus a complimentary Brick Lane beverage token on arrival. Feel the game from right on the hardwood.

From the first tip-off to the championship finals, you’ll be part of something electric.
This isn’t just a tournament — this is Burn City.
