how old do you have to be to go to schoolies and if your tasmanian can you go?

Question

ok i was just wondering how old do you have to be to go to schoolies on the gold coast and if your tasmanian like i am can you still go and how would you get the wrist band to get into the pasrtys and how would you get thee party pack can somone please tell me

Answer 1

I was 17 when I finished school and in my opinion, unless you can get a really good fake ID, unless you are 18- I wouldnt attend schoolies. Most of the events and clubs 18 year olds go to 17 year olds cant attend.
They do have some awesome beach parties most night in Surfer Paradise though and they are all age.

There are party co-ordinaters who walk around Surfer's selling party packs and such.

Answer 2

Schoolies is for school leavers so most are around 17 or 18. There are school leavers from all over the country on the Gold Coast, even Tasmanians. Anyone can go but if you intend to drink alcohol you will need ID to say you are over 18. I presume, but do not know, that you buy the wrist bands for party entry.

Answer 3

Not living on the Gold Coast, I dont really know how you would go about getting wrist bands and party packs etc.

I would suggest that kids of highschool leaver age to be roughly 16-20yrs old.

I think anyone much older than this would be considered a "toolie".

I dont think it would matter where you came from...be it Tas, SA, or even WA. If you are of the appropriate age and holidaying in the local vicinity at the appropriate time etc...then I think you'll be fine!

Hope you enjoy your holiday...wherever you end up!
Congrats on finishing school!

Cheers :)

Answer 4

I hope these two sites give you the answers you're after.
I hope you have fun and, yes, we even let Tasmanians into Queensland. :-)
