Event Organiser: This event is run by Aussie FMX Pty Ltd & J & J Rodeo Pty Ltd, trading as Bull Throttle (ABN: [29 192 870 611]) (the Promoter).
Terms and Conditions are Binding: Tickets to the Event are sold or given and admission to the Event is granted on the express condition that you are bound by these Event Terms and Conditions and any other rules and regulations issued by the Promoter (Event T&Cs). By purchasing an Event ticket you agree to be bound by the Event T&Cs.
Directions of Event Staff: You must follow the reasonable directions of Event staff, security, rodeo officials, FMX officials, and animal welfare officers as required and comply with the law at all times during the Event. This is a ticketed event with onsite security and a zero tolerance policy. Failure to comply may result in immediate removal from the Event Site without refund.
Weather, Postponement & Cancellation
The Event may be subject to weather conditions and the safety and welfare of animals, riders and performers. The Promoter reserves the right, at its sole and absolute discretion, to cancel, postpone, or modify the Event — including the format, schedule, individual competitions or FMX performances — where it determines that weather conditions, ground conditions, or the health, safety and welfare of riders, performers, livestock or the public necessitate such action. The safety of athletes, performers and animals is the number one priority.
In the event of cancellation or postponement:
- Where the Event is cancelled entirely and cannot be rescheduled, ticket holders will be offered a refund less any booking fees paid to the ticketing agent and any credit card transaction fees.
- Where the Event is postponed, tickets will remain valid for the rescheduled date. If you are unable to attend the rescheduled event, please contact us within 14 days of the postponement announcement for a refund (excluding booking and transaction fees).
- Where the Event is postponed prior to event day, ticket holders will be notified by email or SMS, with updates also posted on our social media channels.
- Where the Event proceeds but individual competitions, FMX performances or other performances are modified, shortened or cancelled due to animal welfare, weather or safety concerns, no refund or compensation will be provided for those changes.
No refunds will be issued simply due to wet weather, dusty or hot conditions where the show proceeds. If weather is a concern, we recommend purchasing tickets closer to the event date — subject to availability, tickets remain on sale online until the main event starts and at the gate on the day at an increased price.
The Promoter's decision regarding whether conditions are suitable for the Event to proceed, be modified or be cancelled is final.
Animal Welfare
The Promoter is committed to the welfare of all animals involved in the Event. All rodeo events are conducted in accordance with the Australian Professional Rodeo Association (APRA) rules and relevant state animal welfare legislation.
- Flank straps, spurs and other equipment used during rodeo events comply with APRA regulations and applicable animal welfare standards.
- Qualified stock handlers and, where required, a veterinarian are present at all events to monitor animal welfare.
- The Promoter reserves the right to withdraw any animal from competition at any time if it is deemed to be in the best interest of the animal's welfare.
- Patrons must not approach, touch, feed or interact with any livestock or rodeo animals without the express permission of authorised staff.
- Patrons who are found interfering with or causing distress to animals will be immediately removed from the Event Site.
Freestyle Motocross (FMX) & Motorsport Safety
The Event includes Freestyle Motocross and motorsport-style stunt performances. Motorsport is dangerous, and these performances involve inherent risks including motorcycle movement in and around the Event Site, noise, dust, debris and fuel odours.
- Patrons must remain behind all barriers surrounding the arena, FMX ramps, landing zones and rider staging/pit areas at all times.
- Entry to ramp, landing, pit or machinery areas is strictly prohibited unless you hold official accreditation issued by the Promoter.
- FMX performances generate high noise levels. Hearing protection is recommended, particularly for young children.
- Do not distract riders during performances. Flash photography toward the arena or ramps during FMX performances is prohibited.
- Drones and remote-controlled devices are strictly prohibited at all times.
Safety & Arena Rules
- Patrons must remain behind all flag buntings, arena fencing and designated spectator barriers at all times. These boundaries exist for your safety and the safety of riders, performers and animals.
- Children must be accompanied and supervised by a responsible adult at all times, including and especially behind all flag buntings and arena-side barriers. Unaccompanied children found within restricted areas will be escorted back to the general spectator area by Event staff.
- Entry into the arena, behind the chutes, FMX ramp or landing areas, or into any restricted operational area is strictly prohibited unless you have been issued with official accreditation by the Promoter.
- Running, climbing on fences or barriers, and any behaviour that could startle animals, distract riders or create a hazard is strictly prohibited.
- In the event of an emergency or incident in the arena, patrons must remain in the designated spectator areas and follow the directions of Event staff and emergency personnel immediately. First aid services are onsite at every event.
- Event staff have full authority to move, relocate or remove any patron whose position or behaviour creates a safety risk.
Seating & Ticket Types
- General Admission: no allocated seating — first in, best dressed. BYO camping chair is recommended. GA patrons may sit anywhere in the picnic blanket area (blankets only — no chairs in this area), use the limited unallocated planked seating where available, or set up BYO chairs behind the planked reserved seating.
- Low Level Tiered Planked Seating (Reserved): allocated bench-style plank seating around the rodeo arena — the closest reserved seating to the action. Your seat is chosen at purchase, so there is no need to arrive early to secure it. For additional comfort we recommend bringing a cushion or rug.
- Grandstand Seating: where a venue has established grandstand seating, it may be allocated or unallocated (varies per event).
- Premium Ringside: the best view, on the same rodeo arena planked tiered seating as Reserved. Premium Ringside ticket holders receive a lanyard and poster and a pre-show meet & greet with the Bull Throttle athletes (times posted on social media).
- Children under 3 are free but must sit on the lap of a ticket holder.
- Front rows of planked sections are positioned lower to preserve sightlines for patrons behind. If you would prefer higher seating, we recommend selecting seats further back at the time of purchase.
- Chairs must not be placed where they obstruct planked seating, walkways or other patrons' view. Camping chairs are not permitted in reserved, premium or picnic blanket areas.
- A big screen is normally provided at each event so no one misses the action (location may vary).

If an Event ticket is used in breach of this condition, the ticket may be cancelled without refund and the bearer may be refused admission.
