If you’ve been on the Cabin Fever train for a while now, you’ll know what this is all about.

“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, 4 May 2026 until the public ticket sale begins on Wednesday, 6 May 2026. 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.

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

• A free 100ml truffle oil at the Margaret River Truffle Farm.
• Complimentary glass of Wayfinder wine with any dinner booking. Valid for all Friends of Cabin Fever guests during the festival period (Friday 17 – Sunday 26 July 2026).
• Free tasting experience for up to four people at the Credaro cellar door in Yallingup.
• 10% off 6 wines bought and 20% off 12 wines bought at Xanadu Wines.
• Get 10% off tickets to Katie Noonan live at Miss Chow’s on Saturday 18 July.
• 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.

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.

*Discounts and specials redeemable between July 17 and July 26, 2026.
