QPAM in its sole discretion can, restrict, suspend, amend, extend or otherwise alter the Membership Terms and Conditions at any time and without prior notice. If the Membership Terms and Conditions have been updated, QPAM will post the new terms on the Membership Website and note the date that they were last updated. We encourage Members to review the Membership Terms each time they use their Membership Benefits.

2. BENEFITS

2.1 Current Benefits

The following Benefits will be made available to Members on purchase of a Membership (subject to availability and the Membership Terms and Conditions):

  • Pre-Sale: A Spark Arena Members pre-sale for ticketed events at Spark Arena which provides Members with tickets before they go on sale to the general public. Please Note:

    - Prior to each event going on sale, we will send each Member an email with a link to Ticketmaster or Moshtix (whichever is relevant) for the purpose of accessing this Benefit. The Member will need to use their Membership Number as their code to access the pre-sale.

    - QPAM does not guarantee that the Members pre-sale will be the first or the only pre-sale for an event, but the Spark Arena Members pre-sale will give you access to tickets prior to the general public.

    - Your Membership will give you access to any tickets that are available for purchase for the relevant event but does not guarantee access to tickets if tickets sell out.

    - Promoter, event organiser, touring party or other relevant third party have the right to refuse a pre-sale by Spark Arena on any event in their sole discretion. Therefore, this Benefit may not be available for every ticketed event at Spark Arena. If pre-sale is not made available to Members for an event we will aim to offer an alternative ticket purchasing benefit where possible.

    - Each Member can purchase up to 2 tickets during the pre-sale for each ticketed event held at Spark Arena subject to ticket availability.
     
  • Arena Membership Merchandise: Upon purchasing a Membership, members will receive a welcome Spark Arena Membership branded bag (size and style will be in accordance with the Arena's bag policy). Annually on renewal members will receive an item of Spark Arena Membership branded merchandise to be determined by QPAM in its sole discretion.
     
  • Food & Beverage Discount: Discount as specified by QPAM from time to time on food and beverage at Spark Arena's food and beverage outlets. Please note:

    - The Member will need to be 18 or older and have a valid and accepted ID evidencing their age to purchase alcohol at Spark Arena; and

    - Discounts will vary per product and event and are subject to change at QPAM's sole discretion.
     
  • Members Only Lounge: Opportunity to access our Members-only lounge when a Members Lounge is available for an event. Benefits of the Members Only Lounge include; a private room for Members with access to a separate bar and toilets, and ability to purchase food that will be bought straight to you in the lounge. Please note:

    - QPAM can change the food and beverage offering in its sole discretion;

    - Space is limited in the Members Only Lounge and therefore will be available to Members on a first in first served basis;

    - The Member must present their Membership Card on arrival to the Members Only Lounge together with their ticket for the event;

    - QPAM has the right to refuse entry to the Members Only Lounge to anyone failing to comply with the Conditions of Entry or any other relevant Membership Terms and Conditions including, without limitation, due to intoxication; and

    - QPAM can change the location of the Members Only Lounge within Spark Arena from event to event in its sole discretion.
     
  • Behind the Scenes Tour: All current Members with valid Memberships will be invited to attend a behind the scenes tour of Spark Arena once during the Validity Period. Please note:

    - The date of the Behind the Scenes Tour is to be determined by QPAM in its sole discretion.

    - The Behind the Scenes Tour will be held on a non-event day.

    - Members have no rights to a behind the scenes tour on any day that is not the one specified by QPAM.

All Benefits are subject to availability and to these Membership Terms and Conditions. A valid Membership Card will entitle You to the Benefits but You acknowledge that some or all of the Benefits may be added to, removed or altered by QPAM in its sole discretion.

Any additional fees or costs associated with Your Membership (e.g. event tickets) are additional to Your annual Membership fees.

Any ticket purchases made to events at Spark Arena will be subject to the Ticketing Conditions of Sale as set out by either Ticketmaster or Moshtix (as relevant for the particular event) and Conditions of Entry.
