Whether you’re travelling as a couple, with friends or on your own, you’ll arrive at Celebration already knowing familiar faces.

Begin your Sydney escape surrounded by new friends.

The celebration starts well before New Year’s Eve.

FAQs

Can my Celebration tickets be provided at my hotel?2026-10-14T15:26:32+11:00

Guests staying with us as part of a Stay & Social accommodation package can have their Celebration tickets provided at their hotel on check-in.

For other guests, our preferred option is collection from Daly Male in Darlinghurst from 14 December 2026. This is the most reliable way to receive your tickets and helps avoid the risk of tickets being delayed or going missing in hotel deliveries or the post.

Registered post is also available to Australian addresses where required.

If you are not staying on a Stay & Social package and believe you may need an alternative arrangement, please contact us directly in advance.
