Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if it rains?
Firefly nights run rain or shine. If MetService issues a severe weather warning, we’ll reschedule and email you within 24 hours of the original date with new options.
How many tickets do I need — per person or per car?
Tickets are sold per car bay, not per person. One bay covers everyone in your vehicle (within seat-belt limits). Walk-ins and motorbikes have a separate ticket type.
Can I bring my own food and drinks?
Yes — BYO snacks are welcome. We just ask that alcohol stays sealed until you’re parked and that all rubbish leaves with you. Vendors will be on-site for hot food.
How does the audio work?
We broadcast a low-power FM signal directly to your car stereo. Your booking email contains the exact frequency for your night.
