Poof Doof’s last night at Arq Sydney nightclub will start at 10pm on Saturday night and run until 10am on Sunday in a final goodbye to the venue before the club’s management changes over and it is renamed Aura.
Poof Doof announced on Thursday that it would now introduce a $30.40 (including booking fees) “late entry” pass, enabling those who enter Arq after 4am to get in for less than the $49.42 last-release tickets, of which, we’re told, there are fewer than 40 left.
Poof Doof has also added a special 6.30am performance by drag queen Coco Jumbo to the line-up.
Additionally, Poof Doof says it is offering free entry for drag queens and kings all night long.
“The door will be very busy on Saturday night,” Poof Doof said.
“On arrival, if you are in drag, please politely approach our door staff. Please do not bring any +1’s with you if they are not in drag!”
Similar to recent Poof Doof events, there will be no pass-outs until 4am, meaning once you enter there will be no re-entry until 4am if you leave.
Limited tickets will be available on the door subject to capacity.
