A 2025 update from The Finders Keepers

Hey The Finders Keepers friends,

We want to be real with you, since 2023, we’ve kept our ticket prices the same, but to keep bringing you the market magic you know and love, we’ve had to make a change.

The truth is, it’s getting more expensive to run big, beautiful events like ours. From rising venue costs to paying our crew fairly and ensuring our spaces are welcoming and accessible for everyone, these things matter deeply to us, and they’re not getting any cheaper.

Raising our ticket prices wasn’t an easy decision, but it’s a necessary one to keep our community thriving and to continue supporting the incredible makers and creatives who bring the market to life.

What’s changing:

Our design market ticket prices are increasing, but we’ve got you covered with lots of flexible options. Plus, one ticket gives you all-season access across multiple cities, making it easier than ever to join us!

All online tickets include booking fees and tickets purchased at the door will incur a small transaction fee.

By grabbing a ticket, you’re not just attending a market, you’re helping us continue to:

  • Champion small businesses
  • Support conscious consumerism
  • Create a community-driven space where creativity thrives
  • Offer discounted stalls for emerging designers and new brands
  • Offer sponsored stalls for First Nations brands. 

What’s NOT changing

  • Our commitment to supporting local makers.
  • Stallholder fees are not increasing because we believe in backing the small businesses that make our markets special. 

In 2025, you’re also helping us to introduce:

A new Regional Stallholder Program: Support for rural or remote-based creatives to join our community each season at our design markets in Melbourne and Sydney. 

Expanded Indigenous Program: We’re offering further financial support for First Nations-owned brands to share their wares with you at The Finders Keepers design markets.

Plus, guest curated spaces at the markets, workshops and free creative activities. 

We know times are wild, and we’re doing everything we can to keep the joy accessible. Thanks for being on this journey with us, we truly couldn’t do it without you. 

The Finders Keepers.

    I am curious as to the cost of the all-season access across multiple cities ticket? Also when will this ticket as well as the early bird ticket be available for purchase online?

  • Hi there, would love to find out more about the regional stallholder program. Thanks.

  • Finders Keepers says:

    Hey Kristen! We will share more about the regional program when applications open in the next couple of weeks 😊

    Hey Amber! If you buy a ticket for Melbourne, you can use the same one in Sydney! Early bird tickets will be available this week, we’ve been a little delayed due to power outages caused by Cyclone Alfred up here in QLD. Stay tuned!
