BBAU 2025 house location - Speculation & discussion

Screenshot 2025-03-26 213211.pngI was not far off, a decent BBAU live eviction ticket back in the glory days was about $100 in todays money.
 
The most expensive gold seats included a 1 day entry to Dreamworld in addition to attending a live eviction. General admission to Dreamworld at the time was $66 (adults). If you subtract that cost, then the eviction seat would have only cost $4. That is presuming the locals don't have an annual pass.

Do other shows generally charge the audience or was Big Brother the exception with it being in a theme park?

Dreamworld handled Big Brother show ticketing for some if not all of the original ten era. While I can't speak for other years, in 2008 tickets had to be collected in person at Dreamworld, so I suspect some of the ticket cost would have gone towards paying someone to staff the ticket collection location.

Looks like the process was the same in 2007 based on this random Flickr photo of someone's physical ticket:

2014 used ticketbooth for ticketing, which I believe emails you the actual ticket that you can print or show digitally (at least that's how it worked for a non-BB event). Not sure about 2012-2013.
 
I reckon just give tickets out for free, incentivise any kind of in-person engagement around the new series

Perhaps a small fee to help cover the cost of additional staff/security, at the end of the day they should be concerned with butts in seats not making money. If anything bring in a sponsor.

To think the hype around BB back then was so massive they needed to warn people against trespassing/offensive signage.

Could even charge a donation from live eviction attendees and allow the winning housemate to direct raised funds to a charity of their choice.
 
In comparison The Voice is giving away free tickets but you have to sit through Ronan Keating - and nearly 5 hour recording sessions for shows that really should be a 2 hour live show.
