We will be selling:

RESTAURANT TICKETS $75
This will give you a clear seat to the main stage where all the action happens, and it will almost make you feel as important as 'Simon Cowell' on America's got talent - up front and personal.

BEACHFRONT TICKETS $50
Now if you are liking the open air, fresh breeze on your face, and the freedom to sing shout or dance - then we will be setting up some amazing tables in front and around our HUGE outdoor screen, which honestly will make you feel like your next to the stage anyway 🙂 So really its a win win x

Both tickets includes a magnificent buffet meal & quality show 🙂

So.. you asked for more tickets and seating - we pray we have delivered.
