MELBOURNE

CORE Melbourne is a strictly 18+ event. All attendees must present valid government-issued photo identification upon entry.

Photographs, photocopies, screenshots and digital versions of identification will not be accepted.

A full Conditions of Entry document will be released prior to the event. All attendees are subject to security screening, bag inspections and identification checks upon entry. Refusal to comply with security directions may result in refusal of entry.

Humanitix is the approved resale provider for CORE Melbourne. All resale and ticket name changes must be actioned through your Humanitix order. We cannot confirm the validity of any ticket exchanged outside of Humanitix resale.

If your ticket does not show the name that matches your legal ID at the gate, then for safety and security reasons your ticket may be deemed invalid and you may not be allowed entry. Do not exchange money for tickets anywhere else — they will not be valid under your name.

Only the person who bought the tickets can request a resale. If your tickets were purchased for you, please contact that buyer directly.

Name changes must also be actioned via Humanitix Resale, using the Manage order button on your Humanitix order confirmation email. You can resell your ticket to another person via a private link — your original order will be refunded.

If you see something, say something. If you observe any attendee using, selling, distributing and / or in possession of any illegal substances, immediately notify a police officer, security guard or CORE Melbourne staff member. Be proactive and make a difference.

If you see a person showing any signs of distress — nausea, vomiting, headaches, confusion, blurred vision, racing heartbeat, shallow breathing, muscle tremors, inability to talk, or discoloured lips — or who has expressed to you that they are not feeling well, contact a security guard, police officer, fire rescue personnel or CORE Melbourne staff member for medical assistance immediately.

Stay hydrated. The warm late-November weather, nonstop dancing and vigorous physical activity can lead to dehydration and overheating. Drink plenty of water at our free water stations around the park, as well as Powerade sold at all bars to replenish your electrolytes.

Cloakroom location will be marked on the official CORE Melbourne site map, released closer to event day.

The cloakroom is card only — no cash accepted.
