If you’ve been on the Cabin Fever train for a while now, you’ll know what this is all about. And if you still haven’t been able to join the fun, this might be of interest – our VIP ticket sale “Friends of Cabin Fever” launches today and you don’t want to miss out on this.  

“Friends of Cabin Fever” is our quirky way of saying, “We love you, let’s hang out more”. It’s our love letter to those who love the festival as much as we enjoy organising it.  

Imagine this: an exclusive, velvet-roped, first-dibs kind of deal that makes you feel likened to the real MVP. A special club where, for only $30+BF, you get a juicy 48-hour head start once the full program is launched to snap up tickets before making the ticket sale available to the public. 

Glorious, uninterrupted browsing starting at 9am on Monday, 12 May 2025 until the public ticket sale begins on Wednesday, 15 May 2025. No virtual elbowing or missing out on sold out events, just you and your chance to plan your perfect winter fest without worrying about events selling out left and right – for only $30+BF. 

Your exclusive “Friends of Cabin Fever” pass doesn’t stop at early access. It also unlocks a whole bunch of discounts, offers and perks to enjoy throughout the festival – PLUS a limited-edition Cabin Fever Mug* to keep your coffees warm and your beers cold.

On top of the mug (if you’re quick), you’ll score a swag bag of sweet deals from Cabin Fever venues to use during the festival, including (with more still to come):

• A free brewery tour and a complimentary tasting paddle at Shelter Brewing with your Friends Of Cabin Fever pass. 
• McHenry Hohnen: 10% off all wines + free tastings at their cellar door throughout Cabin Fever. 
• Xanadu Wines: 10% off 6 wines bought and 20% off 12 wines bought.
• Special access to two Woodlands Cabin Fever Packs, the Cabin Fever Trio $89 (Chardonnay, Cabernet Franc Merlot & Malbec) and Cabin Fever Six Pack $210 (Chardonnay, Cabernet Franc Merlot, Malbec and Woodlands Vineyard ‘Margaret’)
• A secret Friends of Cabin Fever menu with discounts and specials available at Banksia Tavern during the festival!
• 15% off all cave experiences at Mammoth, Jewel, Ngilgi and Lake Caves — thanks to the legends at Capes Foundation. Whether you’re chasing megafauna fossils, WA’s longest straw stalactite, or a mirror-like underground lake, the caves make the perfect daytime adventure to pair with your nighttime revelry. Just book online via the Capes Foundation website and use the code FOCABINFEVER at checkout to claim your discount.
• A free glass of Wayfinder wine with any dinner booking for all Friends of Cabin Fever guests. Offer valid during the festival period: Friday 18 – Sunday 27 July 2025.

Now, if that doesn’t tickle your fancy… you might need a winter reset.

There’s still time to grab your Friends of Cabin Fever pass and unlock exclusive perks, discounts and sweet deals across the region during the festival.
