Brisbane Open House is just around the corner – and pre-bookings for selected tours open at 12.00pm on Wednesday 24 June.
While most buildings are open to everyone and do not require bookings, some experiences and tours need to be reserved in advance. 16 residential homes and buildings will require a small $8 booking fee to reserve your place. These fees help cover essential administration costs and are non-refundable – please only book if you’re confident you can attend.
Bookings for most pre-booked buildings go live online via Humanitix and other ticketing sites as provided by the buildings. To give yourself the best chance, follow these tips:
-
Bookmark Your Tours: Check individual buildings for booking information.
-
Have the Humanitix pages open: For all ticketing managed by Brisbane Open House and be ready to book!
-
Have Your Payment Details Ready: Some bookings will incur a small fee – please have your payment details handy.
-
Get Help if You Need It: Not tech-savvy? Ask a friend or family member to help with the booking process ahead of time.
-
Only Book What You Can Attend: Spots are limited. Please only choose only the tours you’re confident you’ll attend so others don’t miss out.
