Getting in

Round nights run on Monday evenings, six weeks apart across the season. Your ticket type determines how you experience the night and what’s included:

• General Admission — the standard way in, available in advance or at the door.
• Full Series Package — one ticket, every round of the season.
• Food & Drink Package — table seating with food and drinks included for the complete Round Night experience.

Arrive early to get settled before the first team takes the floor.

The competition

Each round puts teams through the same live stage structure: Qualification, Bracket, Semi-Final, Final. Every performance is built around that round’s themed brief — expect creativity, technical skill, and a fair bit of pressure, all happening right in front of you.

Judged live

An independent panel of judges scores every performance on the spot using TASTE, DrinkHQ’s judging framework — taste, appearance, engagement, skill, and how well each team responds to the brief. Nothing is scored after the fact; you’re watching the same process the judges are.

Your vote counts

Every round includes a live People’s Choice vote — giving the crowd a direct say alongside the judges. It’s a separate result from the judges’ scoring, and it’s yours to decide.

Food & drink

Food & Drink Package holders enjoy table seating with food and drinks included for the night. Other beverages are available for purchase throughout the round for all ticket holders.

By the end of the night

Results feed straight into the season standings — every round moves teams up or down the table on the road to the Grand Final. Follow the Season page to see the standings shift round by round.
