Pricing
The Show organisers received public criticism for the pricing of the 2006 show. The cost was approximately A$30 per adult and A$20 per child for entry, but including food and souvenirs the estimated cost per person ran to A$80. It was widely expressed that the Show was out of reach of low income earners and poor families.
The 2007, pricing was even higher than 2006, with adults at A$31.00, with a discount of 10% ($27.90) if purchased online, children's tickets were A$21.50 or $19.30 with an online purchase, and concessions are $25.50 or $22.90 when bought online. The tickets in 2008 were $32 for adults, 25.50 for concessions. There was a "kids' day" on the last day with admission at for children at $10.
Tickets for the Show can be purchased on line and through Post Offices and at Railway Stations where the pass includes travel. In 2011 Showbags were priced from $1.00 to $25.00
