Never fear! Whenever we have a show in the venue The Gov’s Cafe is open for quick and delicious bites to eat. With burgers, chippys, yummy pizza slices and an ever-changing selection of other treats, it’s easy to fuel your fun while you’re at the show.

Sound affects people in different ways. We record and maintain all our sound levels, but if you’re worried about your hearing ask to grab a set of earplugs from our venue bar. They’re $2 per pair.

Well, if you provide us with acceptable Photo ID [Valid Drivers License, Government issued Proof of Age Card or Passport], then you can be admitted to the show and served alcohol. Sorry team but Student IDs or photos of your Driver’s License just won’t cut it!
If you rock up to a show drunk, you can’t come in. No thongs or steel cap boots are allowed in the venue. And dangerous behaviour including crowd surfing, stage diving, moshing and violent dancing is not allowed. If you break any of these rules, we will remove you from the venue immediately without warning or refund and if you’ve been a real knob, we’ll ban you.

Be cool. Ok?

Click here to go to our online Gig Guide section to select a show and purchase tickets online with your credit card. Alternatively, you can give Oztix a call on 1300 762 545 for phone sales, or if you prefer to pay cash, pop into any Oztix outlet (hint - we’re an Oztix outlet so you can buy tickets from our Front Bar whenever we’re open).

Always remember when you’re buying tickets to any show to go through a registered ticketing outlet. If you purchase your tickets through a third party or resale site, we cannot guarantee your entry on the night!

We cannot guarantee that tickets will be available at the door. If you really want to see a show it’s best to book ahead. Door sales are only available in the event the show doesn’t sell out prior.

All shows at the Gov are general admission / standing room unless specified. We provide seating where possible when the show doesn’t sell out but we cannot reserve seats. For a sold out show, it’s always standing room only.

Yes, we do. The Gov is fully accessible to wheelchairs. Please call us on 8340 0744 to discuss any special requirements.

You can attend any show at The Gov if you are accompanied by your parent and you must leave the premises before midnight. You can also attend designated ‘all ages’ shows unaccompanied. There are no pass-outs at ‘all ages’ shows for under 18s.

Nope. It needs to be Mum or Dad – sorry.

No. Don’t be that guy. Unless you have the artist’s prior approval, keep your phone/camera/etc. in your pants.

We’re not overly fond of the Tuba, but we’d love to hear the band. You can get in touch with us to discuss it. Check out the Human Contact page.

No, The Gov doesn’t have any accommodation. But we are only a short distance from North Adelaide where you can find many options to suit your budget.

There is plenty of parking close by along Station Place and within walking distance at Bowden.

Alternatively, you can park across the road at the Entertainment Centre (which costs $4 during the day or $12 after 6pm - at least, that’s what we’ve been told!)

There is a tram available from the Adelaide CBD which is free to use! Just jump on anywhere along King William Road or North Terrace and get off at the Entertainment Centre stop. See the timetable here.

You can also catch a 151, 152, 153 or 155 bus from North terrace in the city and get off at the Entertainment Centre.

You could also walk or cycle the scenic route along the River Torrens from the city which is quite lovely and shouldn’t take longer than an hour.

A cab ride from the city to The Gov will cost you around $10.

Not Facebook. Please email us at info@thegov.com.au - we’d love to hear your thoughts!
