We have both Online and Gate Tickets.
BE AWARE that when the expo reaches capacity, we close the gate tickets - resulting in people unable to enter without an Online ticket.
If you are travelling far, we recommend Online Tickets. (Saturdays are the busiest days - afternoons are more crowded than mornings.)
People that buy online tickets are easily notified of postponements or other critical information - it enhances your visit to buy online tickets in advance.
Gate tickets have both Eftpos and Cash facility
We have a staggered Entry System to reduce overcrowding and queues to each tiny house. It works really well.
Friday ALL DAY 10am - 3pm - $25
Saturday ALL DAY 9am - 5pm - Arrive in the morning: $35
Saturday AFTERNOON - Arrive 1pm: $20
Sunday ALL DAY 9am - 5pm - Arrive in the morning: $30
Sunday AFTERNOON - Arrive 1pm: $20
Ticketing of events is a crucial element to a successful show. We have staggered the event arrival times because we know that general show attendance produce huge amounts of people arriving and staying between the 10am-1pm period.
This creates long lines and queues into tiny homes at these times, and a disproportionately quiet afternoon.
The queues result in complaints and people feeling disparaged.
By making this timeframe a little more expensive, we aim to flatten out the spike in attendance and be a lot more even across the day.
This also gives those that are having a serious look, a chance to get inside and up stairs, and be able to open all the cupboards and engage with the builder with their questions during the morning.
The ticketing price is attractive to someone researching Tiny Homes, wanting to see speakers, presenters, and investigate off grid elements - and we understand that not everyone feels it is affordable for them.
Our aim is to provide value for those who are thoroughly researching the Tiny Home movement.
WHY NOT FREE TICKETS? If the event were free, we estimate in excess of 25,000 people would rock up 'for a look', and the event would simply implode under its own popularity.
Imagine queuing for hours and hours to view each house!
VISIT HOUSES FOR FREE INSTEAD: If you just want to peek inside cute houses, we recommend visiting a builder's showroom - which is free. This event is a far more holistic experience - themed around expert information.
If you need to switch a ticket that involves upgrading, you can switch AT THE GATE.
If you are switching from Morning to Afternoon, and want a refund of the price difference, go to your Humanitix order and request the tickets to be switched.
We are a child friendly event, however we do not specifically incorporate children's entertainment. We do not charge for children 16yrs and under, they do not require a ticket, they come in on the accompanying adult ticket.
Please be aware that small children like to climb the ladders in the houses, jump on beds and press cooker buttons - and in most houses this is a safety issue. Please help by ensuring children are not left unsupervised.
Our event is structured to stop huge queues, over-crowding and hour long waits to view inside tiny houses. We do not offer any pension discounts, senior discounts, family passes (Children are free anyway) etc.
We understand that this is disappointing.
If you have a Disability Companion Card, these are honoured. Simply bring your card to the gate - there is no need for an online ticket.
First check your Junk Folder - and search for your tickets under "HUMANITIX".
If you are having trouble finding your tickets - Or Wish to Switch Time/Day- we have a system at the gate where the staff can look you up and get you scanned in and also change your ticket- do not worry.
YOU DO NOT NEED TO PRINT OUT YOUR TICKET, WE CAN SCAN FROM YOUR PHONE
As an outdoor event, we would love you to bring your dog - some builders may ask that they are not taken in to their houses (especially if the grounds are wet/muddy from rain).
IF you do bring your dog, please ensure you bring materials to deal with doggy-accidents immediately, and obviously they are expected to be kept on a leash.
Some dogs can feel very anxious in a crowd with other dogs - keep that in mind and ensure that your dog is comfortable and not feeling threatened, which could result in aggression - particularly towards other dogs.
Please think carefully about this, and help us keep the expo open to 4 paw friends. Be Vigilant - Be Responsible.
We find that visitors to the expo who have expectations of over 50/60 houses are disappointed. The event is much more holistic and revolves around great knowledge.
How many tiny homes will be on display?
Every Expo is different. 25min - 55max.
Regional shows will have less.

WE DO NOT PROVIDE EXHIBITOR LISTS AND DETAILS BY EMAIL / FACEBOOK MESSAGE (they change in the lead up to the show)
Exhibitors who regularly display at multiple expos are featured here EXHIBITOR SUPPORTERS (keep in mind they may not be at EVERY expo)
Full food court (great variety and some healthy options) will be available
- we have found that mobile vendors can not always guarantee nut-free/gluten free 100% - so if you have a severe allergy, keep this in mind, and we are happy if you bring your own food.
Nearly every (but not all), Tiny Home on wheels has steps, and are also limited to 2.4m wide to be on the road - so are not all suited to wheelchair access, (and we're sorry about that).
Expos generally can be overwhelming for Autistic and Spectrum patrons due to crowds and noises.
The Tiny Home Expo welcomes visitors of all abilities, however there are some practical limitations that are important to understand before purchasing tickets.
The Expo is held outdoors on grass and hardstand areas. While most pathways are suitable for mobility scooters and wheelchairs (weather permitting), not every display home can be entered by every visitor.
Tiny homes on wheels are built on different trailer heights and are typically only 2.4 metres wide internally. Many include steps and loft stairs. As each builder brings their own display home from around Australia, temporary access ramps are generally not practical or available.
Some exhibitors will have single-level modular homes on display, which are usually easier to access.
If you are considering purchasing a tiny home and have accessibility or mobility requirements, we strongly encourage you to speak with the builders. Almost all builders can customise layouts and access features to suit individual needs, even if the display home itself isn't configured that way.
Please note:
If you have specific questions before attending, please contact us and we'll do our best to help.
Please come to the ticket desk with Government issued disability card and Companion Cards (free) for entry. You do NOT require an online ticket.
We are an Outdoor Event. Bring a Hat, Sunscreen, and/or umbrella if rain is forecast.
Keep in mind, it might be raining where you are, but not raining at the venue where we are operating!
When it is raining, some builders may ask you to slip off your shoes for entering the house. Keep this in mind when choosing footwear.
WE DO NOT CANCEL DUE TO RAIN unless it is positively dangerous for patrons. We do not refund due to rain.
We have a Facebook Event Page for every expo, and post all the exhibitors links, photos, up to date information, speakers, weather reports - even video as the houses arrive! ...
If you click "INTERESTED" in an event page, you receive the information we post to your timeline.
Alternatively, you can scroll UNDER THE DISCUSSION BAR, all the posts relating to that expo.

Sure! Here's some general information - CLICK HERE or just contact us.
No one knows the tiny house marketplace quite like our Expo - so call us and get some real-time information based on the experience of hundreds of exhibitors, and thousands of visitors to our events.
We also have market-stalls and peripheral exhibitors that align well with the industry.
Food/Coffee/Drinks: please see: FOOD VENDORS PAGE
Not for profit / Charity - please contact us, we will work with you to help as best we can.
WORKSHOPS: We are always actively looking for Workshops that can attend and educate our attendees.
We have venues and infrastructure all ready for these areas, but simply can not go ahead without the local builders getting onboard - and these areas do not have enough local builders participating to fulfil a whole expo. It is essential that builders and exhibitors connect and network with us. In some instances, such as Adelaide and Canberra, it is only viable to do an expo every 2 /3 years (due to lack of tiny house builders in these areas).
We are a very informative event and the subject of Tiny Homes is a hit with school educators.
However, we are seeing schools take advantage of the Free ticketing for 16yrs and under, and groups of 100 children arriving that impacts our event immensely.
This is a commercial event - builders and other paying visitors have expectations - and our entire event is prepped for REDUCING over-crowding. For this reason, a school must register that they are arriving - and permission given in writing for any school group, which can not exceed 25 at any given time (We're happy to stagger)
We hope that schools understand, and we are always happy to recommend good resources to any educators looking to discover people that can help with educational programs.
